Study Groups
Prayer Study Group
Do you want to grow in your personal prayer life? Come and study "Prayer" by O. Hallesby on Thursday evenings, 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Parlor, beginning Feb. 5. It will clear your mind about your need for prayer and strengthen your will to grow in prayer.
In eleven chapters, Hallesby helps the reader understand both complexity and the simplicity of prayer. He writes about a "few simple rules for the benefit of souls who are fainting in prayer."
Come, join Fred Korge as he leads the study group, and learn more about the work of prayer.
