Pearland Student Ministries invites all youth for a special evening of our Interactive Prayer Experience. This will be a time and space designed to help you slow down, quiet your mind, and connect with God. Come and enjoy some time with friends and God. Join us on Sunday, November 8, from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm in the Student Building.

What you can expect:

*The Labyrinth: an ancient spiritual tool—not a maze where you get lost, but a single winding path where you can find focus. Walk it slowly to reflect, release, and receive peace.

*Interactive Stations: hands on spaces featuring simple prompts, journaling opportunities and places for creative expression.

This event is for 5th-12th graders and service hours are available!
