SCHEDULE FOR NASHVILLE

Prayer Postures
(Sanctuary)
Nov 22 8:15 AM-9:00 AM
Nashville

Our bodies are a very important part of prayer. Through our body language, we communicate to God. Even if we aren’t cognizant of what our bodies are saying about how we feel about God—they’re speaking volumes. All through the Scripture we see examples of people using their bodies to communicate to God. Start your day by learning and practicing how to fully engage your body in prayer to God through your hands, feet, bodily postures, the orant gesture, the sign of the cross, and more.

Praying the Prayers of the Church
(Sanctuary)
Nov 22 6:00 PM-6:50 PM
Nashville

Many of us who’ve grown up in traditions that focus on spontaneous prayer are discovering the beauty of the classic written prayers of the church. These are prayers that have been prayed for centuries and have stood the test of time and culture. Come experience their beauty and theology and understand why.

Jogging Group
(Sanctuary)
Nov 23 9:00 AM-9:50 AM
Nashville

Have you ever jogged with others in silence? Here’s an opportunity to open your body to exercise as you open your eyes, mind, and heart to the city in prayer.

Confession
(Sanctuary)
Nov 23 1:00 PM-1:50 PM
Nashville

This time will be set aside to participate in the lost spiritual practices of confession, repentance, and mourning. Spiritual directors and pastors will be available to hear your confession and pray with you. Or you can bring along a friend and practice confession with each other. There will be a time of corporate confession, as well as private time. There will also be a Wailing Wall to provide an environment for mourning losses, confessing sins, and offering the cries of our hearts before the Lord.
