We will reconvene as a class on Sunday morning at 9:45 in the old sanctuary upstairs (our usual place).
As you move through the "In's" and "Out's" of the week, lift each other up in prayer.
Our last class focused on prayer as a discipline.
Practicing prayer is like practicing piano. None of us will likely master the art of praying in this lifetime, but we can learn to get better at it.
How can we practice prayer? I remember when I practiced piano as a kid, my teacher made me learn and play the scales. This helped me learn the location of the keys on the key board so the notes on the page would make sense.
Do you know which "keys" on your prayer keyboard help you enter into effective, meaningful prayer with God?
Pluck a few of these keys to get started:
- Thank God for who he is (Father, Creator, Master)
- Thank God for his goodness and mercy
- Ponder God's righteousness
- Thank God for his saving grace
- Thank God for his promises
Plucking the keys of thanksgiving are a great way to enter into a time of authentic prayer with our Father in Heaven.

See you Sunday in class!!!
