God, Spirituality & Prayer

​

Past President Fay Henning-Bryant will lead a three-week course, “ God, Spirituality and Prayers: What is All This About Anyway,” in January at Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley.

​

In this three-week course, participants will explore these topics — God, spirituality and prayer — that evoke a wide range of opinions and emotions among many people of all ages in recent years.  It is our hope that there will be some answers for everyone.  People of all religious beliefs are invited to join us for this course.

​

• Today, large numbers of Jews, Catholics and Protestants avoid speaking about God altogether.  God has no relevance for many.  Others wonder about God but really don’t know what they think about the role of God in their lives.

 

• Others now search for something more meaningful — often spirituality,  Spirituality can be found in many places and there is no end to the number of self-help books available to help the explorer.

 

• Lastly, are those who are looking for a meaningful way to engage in God through prayer but find it difficult to pray for various reasons. They are seeking ways to make prayer meaningful in their lives.

 

Fay is the chairperson of the Adult Education Committee at Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley. She brings many years of lay leadership experience through the Union of Reform Judaism combined with an extensive background in human resource development.  She has a Master of Arts degree in counseling and psychology from the University of Iowa.
