Men’s Weekend Retreat on Prayer
Becoming men of prayer can be very difficult in lives that are work focused, target led and burdened with many responsibilities. Yet as disciples of Jesus we are called into an intimate prayer life. This is the key to becoming all that the Father has created us to be; ”Lord teach us to pray”. We will touch upon: personal prayer; prayer in the family & prayer in the church/community.
