Heaven in the Ordinary: Experiencing a Praying Life
“Prayer the church’s banquet, angel’s age,
God’s breath in man returning to his birth,
The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage…
Softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and bliss,
Exalted manna, gladness of the best,
Heaven in ordinary, man well drest…”
The singular time that Jesus’ first followers actually requested that he teach them something was when they asked, “Lord, teach us to pray!” Regardless of background, all people desire to connect with God- to pray. And, we don’t know how to pray- we find prayer confusing, difficult, threatening.
So, join us at FPC as we listen to the teaching and praying of Jesus as he guides us into a praying life- a life that experiences “heaven in the ordinary.”
