Church opens prayer room, retreat center

Risen Lamb International Church of the Nazarene, located in the Turner area of Kansas City, Kan., has announced the opening of the Risen Lamb Prayer Room and Retreat Center.

On location at their church at 5301 Metropolitan Ave., the prayer room and retreat center is open to the public for daytime retreats.

All individuals or small groups seeking a quiet, sacred space to gather, pray, meditate, journal or read resources about prayer are welcome.

The prayer room provides a peaceful space for solitude or can be scheduled in advance for groups of up to eight people.

Guests seeking spiritual guidance may schedule a time of spiritual direction with one of the pastoral staff, and groups may inquire about scheduling a member of the pastoral team to lead or speak at a retreat. Donations accepted but not required.
