EVERY FRIDAY IS PRAYER DAY
We had a great initial day of prayer with over 250 people taking 15 minutes from their day to pray for God to work in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. We are praying for our church, our community and our country. We are praying for those affected by the virus and those in the heath field who are serving so faithfully and sacrificially.
Our Pastor has called us to continue this effort and make every Friday a Day of Prayer. Those who have signed up have committed to continue. We invite you to join us. No need to sign up, just pray. We ask you to set aside 15 minutes during the day to stop and pray. A new prayer guide will be posted here each Thursday to help direct your prayer time.
Of course, every day is a day for us to pray. We are reminded to continually be in a spirit of prayer.
