This is the 2nd week of our sermon series at RJC on prayer, drawing from the brilliant book by Anne Lamott entitled Help Thanks Wow: Three Essential Prayers. Each week will be centering on a different way that we pray in our worship services but also how we pray in similar ways in our “outside of the church” prayer lives. This week is centering on confession (help), assurance of forgiveness (thanks), and the freedom that brings in how we live (wow).
Please note two things in the audio…first, there was an audio issue going on in the sanctuary that was creating a buzzing noise that was not coming through the recording. So there’s a moment when we switch from me using my wireless mic to the fixed mic at the pulpit. The other is that there are several points when I step away from the pulpit for a photograph (which makes sense in the context of the message) so there are some brief moments of silence.
