The Unanswered Prayer Course

THE UNANSWERED PRAYER COURSE

Friday, April 1, from 7 pm - 9:15 pm and
Saturday, April 2, from 9 am - 12:15 pm
FL 201-203 (Rose Room)

Together, we will take an honest look at the hard and personal questions we all ask related to our unanswered prayers:

  • Why do my prayers seem like they aren't working?
  • Where is God in the silence and waiting?
  • How do we get through hard times?
  • When will our prayers be answered?

Our course time will be spent learning, engaging in Scripture, small group discussion, and prayer. The course material is based on the book, “God on Mute,” by Pete Grieg. In-person attendance is encouraged, but a Zoom option is available. To find the answers, we will seek out Jesus and focus on his journey from the Garden of Gethsemane, to the cross, and ultimately the resurrection. RSVP - here.
