St. Michael’s is launching a new parish-wide prayer initiative called PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) — an opportunity for our whole community to come together in focused, intentional prayer.
On Sunday, October 26, The Rev’d Shane Scott-Hamblen introduced the initiative by sharing C. S. Lewis’s essay, “Petitionary Prayer: A Problem Without an Answer.” In it, Lewis wrestles with the mystery and purpose of prayer — how and why we bring our deepest hopes before God, even when answers aren’t clear.
We invite everyone to read and reflect on the essay over the next couple of weeks and to consider: What one or two issues related to our parish should we all PUSH for together in prayer?
Please send your reflections and suggestions to [email protected]. And stay tuned for more details in the Sundays leading up to Advent.
