Is there such a thing as ‘Quaker Prayer?’ Yes! Over four 90-minute sessions once each week in February, this online workshop will use short videos and guided, worshipful discussion to explore the rich varieties and common threads within the practice and experience of prayer among Friends. Newcomers welcome.

Mary Miche, of Redwood Forest Friends Meeting and Lake County Worship Group, will facilitate this program. Mary is the author of the children’s book: Kids Pray in Many Ways; Las Muchas Maneras en Que Los Ninos Oran. She wrote her thesis at the Graduate Theological Union on prayer and therapy. Mary works as a therapist with children and their families in Lake County, California, and she has been a Friend for more than 50 years.

Barbara Birch of Strawberry Creek Friends Meeting will serve as Elder for this program.
