Why Pray in Colour? ​Here are some reasons:
​You want to pray but words escape you.
You feel antsy and can’t sit still.
Your prayers seem puny and silly.
You want to spend time with God but don’t know how.
Your mind wanders and your body complains.
You want a visual, concrete way to pray.
You need a new way to pray.
 
Maybe you love color. Maybe you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractible or impatient soul, or a word-weary pray-er. Perhaps you struggle with a short attention span, a restless body, or a tendency to live in your head. Maybe your prayers feel more like a list for Santa Claus than a love letter to God, or you’re just bored with the same old prayers you’ve said since you were a toddler. Maybe you’re not sure that anyone out there is listening, or you just feel deep in your bones a hunger to know God better. This workshop is more of a retreat - it will introduce you to a new and engaging way to pray. Facilitator Kathy Berken will be using Sybil MacBeth's resource, Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God. For more information on this resource, visit: https://prayingincolor.com/
