Each year during Lent, we offer a series of Adult U classes known as "Season of Prayer". Each week, the class will be led by a different member of the SDFC community and focus on a unique topic or type of prayer.
We hope you'll plan to join us for some of these sessions, taking place from 6:30-8pm every Wednesday at the Fireside in Brown Chapel Foyer, as we seek to expand our notion and practice of prayer together!
