Deeply Rooted
Prayer is a continual back-and-forth conversation with God. It comes from a deeply rooted place that is honest, trusted, and even tested. But sometimes, as followers of Jesus, we ask ourselves, “Does prayer work?” “Is God listening?” “Am I praying the right way?” “What should I pray about?” This six-week series will explore how Jesus teaches us to pray, how prayer can influence our communities, and examine other powerful prayer moments in Scripture.
We invite all Covenant churches to participate in this series from May 7 through June 11 as we prepare to join together at the Annual Meeting.
