Join Dr. Faith Nostbakken online as we look at the Lord’s Prayer and its invitation to intimacy with God. We’ll consider its call to radical living that addresses injustice, extends grace, and abides in hope. We’ll also explore how approaching Scripture with our imagination may be a way of listening to God. Some may say, “I have no imagination.” Others may be suspicious of it as a pathway to prayer. Jesus’ own parables and sayings, however, relied on the imaginative engagement of his hearers.

Continue the learning in ‘prayer’ as we open ourselves to God’s desire for relationship through the Lord’s Prayer, and by allowing God’s Word to connect to us through our senses and our willingness to enter the Gospel stories.

Hope will be the Calgary site for this online workshop, joining Lutherans from around the city and across Western Canada through the internet. Faith Nostbakken, a spiritual director, will be the teacher, and Rachel Schmidt our local discussion facilitator.

Mark your calendar for these two Saturdays in February and together let us grow in experiencing afresh out relationship with God.

Fees are $25 for one session, $45 for two.
