led by Vickie Huckeba

was scheduled to start Sept 14  -postponed due to weather

will now start Sept 21

Tuesdays 10 am

Room 109 

Prayer is a relationship with God that grows and matures over time.

"We can be mature in one area of our Christian walk and still be a beginner in other areas," Burger writes. "That is not an indictment but an acknowledgment of the different ways we grow. If we are still a beginner in our prayer life, God simply desires us to take the next step… We are not striving in our own strength. God desires and provides for an intimate prayer life for all believers."

Burger's study combines scriptural teaching and personal testimony that will help you overcome obstacles to intimacy with God.

Study will be approximately 15 sessions. Men of the church and the community are welcome to join anytime.
