Individual Prayer & Meditation

Why do we spend time in individual prayer & meditation?

We increase...

The ability to be at peace in the midst of turmoil.
The ability to see God’s hand at work in all things.
A relaxed reliance on the power of God.
The ability to communicate from the heart to the heart.

 Church Communities

Why go to church?

We are called to be in relationship with God.  At our Baptism, we are also called into fellowship with other Christians.  This fellowship connects us to others who have similar beliefs and with that fellowship they assist us and also challenge us to be the best we can.
