Hope, Peace, & Prayer Group
The Hope, Peace, & Prayer group evolved out of a study group from early 2024. We meet twice monthly for a time of sharing with one another. Typically, we will have a simple focal point - a poem, a prayer, or a devotional that jump-starts the conversation, which is never lacking and always insightful from this wonderful group. Not everyone is able or expected to attend every session, making it a great place to give small groups a try. For more information, contact beth@centenarymacon.org.
