Having a child has been described as having your heart exist outside your body. We worry for them, have hopes for them, and grieve alongside them, but often we aren't in a practice of praying for them. It can be hard to find a balance of praying for our own desires for our kids while still feeling like we are honoring their free will and God's eternal will. In this class, we will explore the role of prayer in a parent's life: how we can articulate our hopes and worries in prayer and simultaneously lay them before God, and how we can build a community practice of praying for the children in our lives that we care for.

This class will be held at Meck during the 11 a.m. service. You can register one time and attend whichever classes you are able. Each month we will explore a different topic (outlined below) of prayer and spend time practicing different ways we can pray for our young children, unborn children, teens, foster children, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and adult children.
