Prayers that Bring Us Home

Exploring the Psalms--the prayer book of the Bible--we learn together the Spiritual Vocabulary of healing, resilience, and praise. Ramona, Gaye, and John lean into the mystery and power of these ancient songs with awe. These prayers were held by an enslaved people through the horrific Exile in Babylon, then crafted, organized, and woven together into sacred meeting space to heal an entire nation and world. These are the prayers that Jesus used, lived into, unveiled, and gave to us to pray together. These are the Prayers that Bring Us HOME From the San Antonio Mennonite Church, a joyful community that is doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God in our Southtown neighborhood.

One of our most important beliefs is what we believe about ourselves. We need to believe that we are Called. Heather Creamer and John Garland explore this experience of Calling, this "vocalization of God over us," which we refer to as "vocation."
