Prayer discussed Sunday
ELYSBURG - The effectiveness of prayer will be explored at Lifetree Cafe from 7 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Elysburg Presbyterian Church, 320 W. Valley Ave.
The program, titled "Prayer: Could a Conversation With God Change Your Life?" features an exclusive filmed interview with former PGA golf pro Wally Armstrong, who found an unusual way to make his prayers more meaningful.
Armstrong, who is also the author of "The Mulligan: A Parable of Second Chances," said, "There's a new level. I was a believer in prayer but I found there's a big difference between believing something is true, and experiencing something is real."
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available.
Lifetree Cafe is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting.
