Past Events
Keys to Unleash Power in Prayer
Young Adult Day Retreat - February 5, 2011
Fr. Dave Pivonka, Franciscan T.O.R. lead about 300 young adults on a spiritual journey. We learned to open up to the Holy Spirit, get to know Him in prayer, and experience Him in everyday life. We learned about how prayer and trusting God are essential to our relationship with Him, but in order to move deeper in the spiritual life and unleash power in prayer we must confront sin honestly and come to God - since only He can set us free. We need to approach God's mercy not just as a cleansing routine, but to experience Jesus who died for us and rose from the dead because He is waiting for us to let Him transform us from the inside out. Local musicians lead us in beautiful and heartfelt songs of praise and worship, and we enjoyed fellowship with old and new friends.
