April 11 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cost: $20
Expand your prayer ministry with this Certified Lay Ministry worship, Mosaic of Prayer, on April 11 from 10 am to 4 pm. We will explore obstacles to effective prayer, as well as listening prayer, abiding prayer, journaling prayer, poetry prayer, intercessory prayer in multiple layers, healing prayer, praying the Scripture, and other prayer practices. The goal is to learn many types of prayer to create “tools in your toolbox” when you feel a need to “change up” your prayer practices. Some prayer practices come easily to us, and others may stretch us. We need to engage in both. This workshop will expand your options and equip you with prayer “tools” that you can easily share with others in your own church setting. Prayer is a relationship with the living God through Jesus Christ. If you want to deepen your relationship, then deepen your knowledge of prayer practices, try them, and be transformed for His glory.
Course Requirements:
- Before Workshop: Read Lord Teach me to Pray and Throne Room Prayer. Write a one-page reflection on each.
- After Workshop: Share ( one page max) anything you learned at the mosaic workshop and what interested you about it, a practice you are willing to try following the workshop, and any book you intend to read to learn more.
CLM Course Credits: The Certified Lay Minister status is a lay status granted to individuals who feel called to serve in the local church and beyond, though not in a clergy role. The Mission & Evangelism Course will be considered a specialized course for the Certified Lay Minister certification. You can learn more about the Certified Lay Minister program here.
