Book Study Group
Do you ever wonder why your prayers are not more effective?  Do you ever get discouraged because you don’t see any visible results in your prayers?
Then consider joining a book study group on Intercessory prayer.  Scripture has a great deal to teach us about prayer, especially intercessory prayer, and Sr. Ann Shield’s book, “Intercession: A Guide to Effective Prayer “ teaches us how to intercede according to God’s mind and will with greater fervour and understanding.  Come and discover the richness of the Bible’s teaching on intercession and revolutionize your prayer life.  If you are interested contact Marta at 403 707-5109.
