    Prayer in Benton Chapel
    Every Thursday at 4 p.m. we meet on the steps of Benton Chapel and go inside to pray. Praying together doesn’t mean you have to “be good at prayer” or have the perfect words. This is a time for us to offer up our requests and praises together to the Lord, and also to learn more about prayer. Benton Chapel is located by Main Library in the Divinity School.
