Who do you look to for a good model of prayer? We all learn how to pray from someone. Paul might actually be a great model for us!

The disciples of Jesus knew they needed some help in learning to pray. They had observed Him praying and longed to pray better. For many friends of Jesus, that longing to learn to pray is still deeply felt. Drawing on the prayers that Paul wove into his epistles, The River will host an online, two-evening discussion.

These evenings will be given over to buidling an understanding of prayer by listening in on a seasoned minister, a gifted evangelist, and a passionate follower of Jesus–the apostle Paul. What better way to learn to pray than to eavesdrop on one who prayed so well!

The class will meet on Tuesdays, February 10 and 17, beginning at 6:30 pm (EST, US). Those who register for this free class will receive an email with details about signing in.

This six-evening course will equip you to read and understand the Bible for yourself. Unlike some Bible study methods and books, this class starts with what you already know about reading and applies it to reading Scripture, rather than starting with what you don’t know. The class is filled with “lab time” where you will experience the joy of personal discovery in reading the Bible.

After a recent “Reading Scripture” course, Lindsay wrote: “We finished the 6-week course last night, and I am blown away by how much I learned, how insightful the course was, and how FUN it can be to read and enjoy God’s Word. When I began reading the Bible years ago, it was out of duty and obligation. Several years ago, I joined a local Bible Study Fellowship group, and my love for God’s Word grew immensely, but I still wasn’t ‘excited’ about it. After taking this course, I can honestly say that I am EXCITED to read and understand God’s Word.”

This course will meet online for six Tuesday evenings, starting March 3 (March 3, 10, 17, 21, 28, and April 7), meeting from 6:30 until 8:30 pm (EST) each evening.

Although there is no charge for the class, we would like you to register if you would like to attend so that we can plan accordingly. Those who register will be provided downloadable class materials and the link for the sessions.
