last night i wrapped up a series on prayer that i've been teaching through at catalyst (the worship gathering for the 20-something ministry at hamburg wesleyan church). it's been a fun thing to do, leading the journey for this relatively new group of people.
last night we capped off the series with a "prayer experience". we took the four dynamics of prayer that we talked about the previous weeks and then did them. have you ever wondered how in the world you could pray for an hour? Over 20 young adults did that last night. the four dynamics were: God as father, listening in stillness, forgiveness, and intercession. the stillness room and the forgiveness room were the "popular" ones - meaning that people came out of them with a sense of something profound having happened in them.
we ended the evening with musical worship and then a discussion about what we just experienced. it's fun to be a part of something that works as well or better than you imagined. our church is not on the cutting edge of these sorts of things, so this was totally new...i'm sure there will be more to come.
my parents are coming today. they are currently driving somehwere in canada. they'll be here until tuesday morning. should be a nice visit...though our house is small and has only 2 bedrooms. i'm sure more will be coming on that adventure...
Peace,
Matt
