Starting January 2012, we, Trinity Lutheran Church and School,
are embarking on an intentional path of prayer through the emphasis, “Lord, Teach
Us To Pray.” Family Life Ministry would like to provide you and your family a
calendar that serves as a resource for growth on the lifelong JOURNEY of prayer.
On
this JOURNEY, you have a chance to try new ways of approaching prayer in your
home! Home, by the way, is not necessarily a structure, but rather, where your
heart is. There are so many ways to talk to the Lord and we pray that the various
prayer challenges, ideas and methods mentioned in here encourage you along the
way!! I, along with the Family Life Ministry Team, am excited to be on this prayer-filled
adventure with you! Enjoy the JOURNEY! Mary Bloebaum
Family
