Using a 33\u00a0bead\u00a0model created in the 1980\u2019s, Protestants are exploring and enjoying this means of contemplative\u00a0prayer. In this webinar, we\u2019ll assemble our own\u00a0prayer\u00a0bead\u00a0strings from kits and spend some time practicing this calming, comforting, affirming\u00a0prayer\u00a0practice."}
