The impact of prayer on people’s everyday lives will be explored at Lifetree Café on Thursday, July 23, from 7:00- 8:00 p.m.
The program, titled “How Does Prayer Work? Exploring the Mystery of Connecting With God,” features filmed interviews with Nathan Matz and Tosha Williams, two people who pray daily, but in very different ways.
“I originally thought prayer was about pleading to God like he was a genie in a bottle,” says Matz. “Prayer to me now is about trust. When I pray, sometimes I’m crying, sometimes I’m laughing, sometimes I’m screaming, and sometimes I’m angry. When I pray, I find God continuously pushing me into deeper waters.”
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is located in The Bachwell at 116 N. Washington Street, Van Wert, OH. Enter through the Court Street entrance. Parking is available in the courthouse lots.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to First United Methodist Church at 419-238-0631or firstchurch@wcoil.com.
Topic for July 30 is “When He Becomes She.”
