Join Pastor Hannah as she leads her final study at SUMC! Together, we will read “The Practice of the Presence of God” by Brother Lawrence. The group will meet April 30, May 7, and May 21 from 6:30-7:45 pm.

Brother Lawrence came from a humble family. As a monk, he worked with his hands: first in the kitchen and later repairing sandals. He was not a priest or theologian. He didn’t preach or serve communion. After his death, he was not formally recognized as a saint. And yet, a steady stream of priests, nuns, and laypeople sought his advice on the spiritual life.

“For me the time of action does not differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, I possess God in as great tranquility as when upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.” – Brother Lawrence
