Prayer Groups Continue in February
The power of prayer brings healing and transformation in ways that we can never know or understand.  There are many in our church and friends who are asking for prayer at our church each week.  The needs of our community, nation and world can be impacted by the power of prayer as well.  

The Prayer Groups will meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, 3-4 p.m. or  the 3rd Wednesday, 6-7 p.m. Our next meetings will be on February 21 and February 22.

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.
