These prayer practices will be taught at a new Zoom small group series that will meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. Each session will be facilitated by a Nativity spiritual coach. That person will introduce a prayer style\, invite people to practice that style\, and offer time for discussion and/or questions. Pat Hendricks will offer an introduction to the value of prayer practices as well as to this Zoom series on Tuesday\, October 20th at 7:00 pm. All ages are welcome to attend.
