Explore the transformative power of prayer through the lens of oneness in this seven-week small group study. Using "Discover Your Divinity" by Linda Martella-Whitsett and DeeAnn Weir Morency, participants will delve into the essentials of affirmative prayer as a practice of affirming our divine nature rather than seeking favor from a supreme being. Together, we'll discuss how to align our thoughts, words, and intentions with spiritual truth, and dsicover fresh ways to express prayer from a consiousness of unity. Join us as we deepen our understanding of prayer as a profound act of connection and creative expression.
