Praying in Color
At CUMC, we are continually experimenting with "best practices" of incorporating faith into everyday family life. Our latest lab is called Praying Color taken from a book by Sybil Macbeth. It is an innovative and creative way to pray if you are 3, 13, 43, or 93. You can do it in as little as one minute a day, at work, around the dinner table, before bed, whenever. Most importantly, it will forever transform the way you pray. This faith lab will start at the beginning of Lent (February 18). Please consider signing up.
Family Faith Labs are designed to help your family talk about faith as a normal part of your daily and weekly routine - perhaps over a meal or before bed. We would love to have 5-7 families try this for 5 weeks and then debrief about the experience, learning what worked best, and forming ideas about how to get other families into a family faith lab. If you are interested, contact Justin Spurlock.
