Prayer and Discussion:

We take prayer seriously at Essex United Methodist Church.
We don't pray because we think God is absent and needs cajoling.
We don't pray because we think God is a celestial Santa Claus.
We pray because that is how humans begin to discern God's will.
We pray because prayer changes us; prayer opens us up
more and more to God's grace and the movement of
God's Spirit in our  hearts, our community, our world.
