Join us each Wednesday at 8AM in the sanctuary for a time of focused prayer. We take prayer requests and read over the verse(s) in the prayer guide for the week. Then we take time for corporate prayer. Everyone who like to pray may do so. This is a great chance to learn how to pray and be encouraged by fellow church members. If you have any questions or would like to request prayer, see Bro. Will. Also let us know if there is a specific area that you would like to recommend be the focus of our weekly prayer guides.
If you have a specific need, we encourage you to reach out to your Deacon and Sunday School class. You may also let us know specific prayer requests here. Be sure to note if it okay to share the request with the weekly prayer group.
