PRAYER GATHERING
All are welcome—children, youth, adults—for a time of group prayer following the worship service each Sunday throughout the summer. Come whatever Sundays work for you and join us in the Multipurpose Room about 5 minutes after the worship service ends as we pray for the lost, for revival, and whatever else God leads us to pray about.
Group prayer is a way to instruct and improve our prayer life and to make us more united. This is an opportunity for anyone who is looking for examples on how to pray, who wants to improve their prayer life, have prayer accountability, who feels like they are fighting battles alone, or just needs to connect with God or other believers.
“Prayer does not fit us for the greater works, prayer is the greater work.” Oswald Chambers
