I'm Jennifer and it's my privilege to lead you tonight in The Art of Waiting.

Join me as we explore the nature of waiting, both an art and a skill, and a practice

as well as a pleasure.

Tonight we will be learning how we, as followers of Jesus, can truly learn the kind of waiting

that brings refreshment.

That is, waiting on the Lord and waiting well.

This is truly only understood in union with His Spirit because he will teach us and guide us in the art of waiting.

Through his guidance tonight, we will come to understand more deeply how waiting on God

can nourish our lives and deepen our relationship with Him.

There is purpose in all of God's designs, so we'll be

exploring some of his purposes for waiting and how we can practice and enjoy this hope-filled

art. The words of Psalm 62, verse 5 will be our guiding compass tonight, leading us to more deeply

understand waiting.

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.

We'll be learning the art of waiting as we listen to scriptures and poetry, and during the times

of silence, we will wait on the Lord and make room for the Holy Spirit
