We have designated Monday, August 10 to be a day of prayer -- to encourage each other to pray for our community, our friends and family, and the church throughout the world.
There are many ways to pray: using objects like prayer shawls or holding crosses, using music, or using a practice like kneeling or fasting which help us reflect and stay focused.
Or your life may be busy and overwhelming, and you might try snatching prayers in bits throughout the day as you are able.
