You are invited to gather on either January 17 from 3-4 p.m. or January 18 from 6-7 p.m. to participate in these new prayer gatherings. Both groups will meet in the Upper Room Prayer room and will be led by Rev. Alexandra Robinson and Martha Jacobson.  Let us come together to raise our voices before God as a faith community.
