 Spring Pastor Retreat – LAST WEEK TO REGISTER!!!!

“Lord, Teach Us To Pray” with Rev. Jen Haddox, Director of Global Engagement for ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians

How can we develop a prayer life with the demands of serving in ministry?  Jesus often took time away to pray.  In the gospel of Luke the disciples observe this and ask, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Jesus gives them a model prayer in response. But this prayer is not just the right words to pray. It is a prayer framework that provides a spiritual and missional posture for our everyday lives.  During this retreat, we’ll explore this familiar prayer with fresh insights and prayer practices. Join us as we take time away to pray.
