PRAYER PATH

A private experience of prayer

Begins this Sunday, March 30

What's a Prayer Path? It’s a chance to give God time and space to work in your heart and mind. Prayer is simply opening up to God. A path is a journey from a starting point to an endpoint. On this path, there are 10 private moments for prayerful reflection. Each one will help you open up to God in different ways. Whether you are new to prayer or have been praying most of your life, this unique media-guided experience will walk you through various prayer prompts to help you better see yourself, God, and the world.

Bring your smartphone and your headphones/earbuds, the path will guide you through each multisensory prayer moment.
