By Grace • Jun 10th, 2009 • Category: Mid-Week Grace NotesThe well-known theologian Henri Nouwen says, “Prayer is first of all listening to God. It’s openness. God is always speaking; he’s always doing something.”
Please come on tonight at 7 p.m. to the Meditation Service and enter into a dialogue with God. Or just listen to what He has to say to you. He’s always doing something. Listen as He speaks to you and tells you what He is doing.
