Week of Prayer

Twice a year we have begun the practice of setting aside a week of prayer in order to make sure our hearts and plans are led by and surrendered to Christ. Of course prayer is the fuel of this ministry. It is a daily discipline (if not moment by moment practice) to talk to God in prayer. But during the week of prayer our focus is a little more directed, a little more intense, and intentionally.

We are excited to lay our hearts before God this week, with the expectation that He will help us have clarity as we move ahead with projects and make plans for the future of the ministry. We would love each of you to join us during this week of prayer - for when there are many people praying - we know we are safely in the hands of God.
