Lifetree Cafe-Growing Closer to God



How ancient practices can
help us connect with God will be discussed at Lifetree Cafe, 10 a.m.,
Sunday, August 17, and at 7 p.m., Thursday, August 21 at the West Des Moines
United Methodist Church, 720 Grand Avenue, West Des Moines, Iowa.



The program, titled
"Encountering God: What Ancient Practices Can Teach Us Today,"
features a short film depicting how various groups and individuals have tried
to grow spiritually.                
                     
                       
                     



"Spirituality isn't
new," says Lifetree national director Craig Cable. "There's a lot to
learn from people who have come before us." Lifetree participants will
explore how ancient practices might benefit their own spiritual lives.
