60-60: Every 60 minutes, for 60 days: If you have ever wondered where God is, felt distant from God or wondered how to pray without ceasing, this is a practice (similar to Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God) that is designed to help us draw close to God. You are invited to join Georgia on this adventure with God by pausing every 60 minutes for a check in with God for the 60 days of July and August. We will keep in touch as we journey with God and each other. More information is in Connections and there is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board. Contact Georgia with any questions, 774-8346 or email at gmazzolla@aol.com.
