Too Busy Not to Pray

Slowing Down to Be With God 

Sermon series and church-wide study beginning September 20

The world certainly hasn’t slowed down. If anything, the pace, intensity and number of distractions have only increased. Brokenness and pain seem to have increased as well, with news of civil war, poverty, broken families and sex-trafficking touching us daily.

The urgent need for prayer is clear, but busyness still keeps many of us from finding time to pray.

Two truths haven’t changed in all these years: God is the same powerful, just, holy God he’s always been; and true prayer―prayer that changes us and allows us to participate in God’s work in the world―can’t happen on the fly.

Join us for a four week sermon series and church-wide study based upon Bill Hybels’ book. The sermons and study begin September 20:

Bible study opportunities:

Sunday, 11:30am, beginning September 20

Tuesday, 7:00 pm beginning September 23

Thursday, 9:30 am beginning September 25

Thursday, 7:00 pm beginning September 25
