365.25 - Day 6

365.25 - Day 6
Originally uploaded by whatnext

The monthly recurring appointment of writing my church newsletter column is usually associated with sundry quandaries.

Deciding what to include is always a challenge. Do I spend time talking about theological topics? The church calendar? Some big church event?

This month, I decided to talk about prayer. These days, prayer is viewed as a rather banal activity, but it is, in fact, one of the most important activities of faithful living.

For the church community I presently serve, congregational prayer is essential. So many things are in the works, and the temptation to plunge forward without listening for God's voice can result in disaster.

We are, after all, human.
