The Psalms: A discussion group facilitated by Don Stroot
The psalms are a God-given resource for prayer—God's invitation to us to speak with him. They express the whole span of human experience in the presence of God: joy and pain, love and hate, peace and dread, exultation and desperation. It has even been said that there is a psalm for every situation
The book of Psalms teaches us to pray with passion, honesty, and zeal. In truth, the book of Psalms is all about open communication with God. Psalms: An Invitation to Prayer will help Catholics learn how to pray openly and honestly using the Psalms as an example.
Facilitated by Don Stroot
Wednesday evenings | 7 PM | Family Room

Little Rock Scripture Study
To register for the zoom meetings, use the form below.
The Little Rock Scripture Study has been meeting early on Friday mornings for more than ten years. In our Little Rock study we read a short scripture verse and then a question about the reading that leads to free form discussion. There is no pressure. A person could join and not say a word if they want. We are now studying Paul’s Letters from Prison; Ephesians, etc.
We now meet every Friday morning at 7 - 8 am using Zoom. See www.littlerockscripture.org for more information.
