David Timbie and T. M. Moore will lead this time. Our focus is on learning how to pray the psalms, using one psalm per week and daily exercises to lead us into our weekly psalm. Between monthly meetings David and T. M. will work with course members individually in learning how to pray the psalms more consistently.

You can join this group at any time, even if you haven’t been through the first lessons of Latta’s book.
