Pray Boldly, Without Shame
"Pray Boldly, Without Shame"
Sermon by The Rev. Cameron Nations
July 27, 2025
Prayer is tender, vulnerable, and central to human experience—expressing longing, seeking wisdom, and shaping our will to align with God’s. Jesus teaches us not just the Lord’s Prayer, but to approach God with “shameless audacity,” not as wish-fulfillment, but as trust that God hears us and gives us what we need—even if not always what we ask. So pray boldly, dispense with propriety, and speak to God like a child to a loving parent: “Dad, be with me now, give me what I need, help me forgive, and never let me walk alone."

Blast Off with the Adult Choir! Come be a part of the New Generation of choir members!! We need you to step up and boldly go where so many great singers have gone before.

Talk to Melanie ( mcouch@allsaintsbhm.org ) or any Adult Choir member about giving it a try. Musicians of all skill levels are welcome. You are welcome even if singing in a choir would be a brave new world for you! Choir Camp is at Camp McDowell August 28-30 (the same weekend as the Parish Retreat). You can come for any part of the weekend to explore this final frontier. Wednesday rehearsals are 6:30-8:30 each week starting on September 2. Anyone is welcome to check it out!
