The Only Necessary Thing: Living a Prayerful Life by Henri Nouwen

“To pray...means to think and live in the presence of God.” - Henri Nouwen
In these turbulent days, we long for closer communion with God through prayer. Henri Nouwen, one of the great spiritual writers of our time, offers an inspiring guide to “living the prayerful life” in this book. He gives an invitation to reflect on subjects such as desire, solitude, listening, discipline, forgiveness, and community. I hope you will spend time with this short book as you seek to enrich your prayer life.

The church staff has pulled some resources from our Church Library and put them on a table in the Fellowship Hall. Come by (8-3:30 Mon-Fri), choose something(s) you would like, write your name on the card along with the date, and return it within 3 weeks. It’s a great time to READ!
