Do you only pray when you need something from God? Do you wonder if prayer is working? Do you wonder if there might be more to prayer than you’ve learned before? 

Even lifelong Christians struggle with these questions. 

The Episcopal Church is a praying church. The Anglican tradition is blessed with many tools and techniques to equip individuals with a rich and vibrant prayer life. From liturgical prayer to contemplative prayer – there are different ways to pray for different people and personalities. Prayer School is a workshop that will help you form your own habit of prayer by drawing on liturgical disciplines like the Daily Office of Morning Prayer (from the Book of Common Prayer) and Contemplative practices (like centering prayer and the daily examine). 

At Prayer School you will learn: 

A healthy theology of prayer To support a morning prayer time 

To read scripture in a systematic way throughout the year 

Contemplative techniques of prayer 

About the tradition of the Daily Office and Liturgical Calendar 

About how liturgy helps us mature in Christ 

The only required text for this course is a Book of Common Prayer 1979. You can order it on Amazon or see if Fr. Tim has some in the office.
