Prayer Journey
This fall, our church family will walk together through a 4-week prayer journey. We’ve created a devotional book that will guide us in exploring prayer in fresh and meaningful ways—learning to approach our holy God through adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. Each week offers Scripture, reflection, and practical steps to grow deeper in our prayer lives. Join us as we seek the Lord together and discover the joy of drawing near to Him in prayer.
Prayer Walking
During our 20 Day Prayer Journey and 4-week Prayer Journey Sermon Series, we invite you all to join us in Prayer Walking for those in the community.
Prayer Walking is as straight forward as it sounds, choose a place that the Lord as laid on your heart to walk around and pray for as you walk whether out loud, in your head, by yourself, or with others.
As a church, our prayer focus will be for four main areas within the community. Schools, Churches, Neighborhoods, and Workplaces. Over these next four weeks consider how you can lift up these places in our community to the Lord.
