PATHWAYS TO PRAYER—A PILGRIM’S
JOURNEY
Do
you pray? How do you pray? To whom? Why? When? What about? St. Ann’s
Bay United Church is presenting a week-end ecumenical conference May
16-18, 2014 to discuss this topic. We hope to boost your prayer
routine, give you some ideas to enhance your spiritual growth and
give you a respect for the variety of forms prayer can take. There
will be speakers, social activities, worship, food and great Cape
Breton hospitality.
Our keynote speakers are Stephen Augustine and
Rev. Ivan Gregan. Professor Stephen Augustine, BA, MA, hereditary
Chief on the Mi’Kmaq Grand Council and trained by elders since an
early age, has a thorough command of traditional practices. He will
address prayer in respect to his native spirituality. He is Principal
of Unama’ki College of Cape Breton University. Rev. Ivan Gregan,
BA, MDiv, has been the minister at Port Wallis United Church in
Dartmouth, NS since 1988. For information and registration forms,
speak to Nan or contact the church office.
