The Prayer Course
Learn to pray. Simply. Honestly. Together.
Prayer is one of the most important – and often most challenging – parts of life and faith. Many people want to pray but feel unsure where to begin, worry they’re doing it wrong, or struggle to keep going.
The Prayer Course is a relaxed, welcoming space to explore prayer in a way that’s accessible, practical, and deeply human.
📍 Hosted by Eldad Church, Guernsey
📅 Starts Sunday 26 April
