Monthly Prayer Gathering Sat., Sep. 14
|
|
Second Sat. Prayer Gathering, Sep. 14, 9:30-10:30 AM, in the chapel
From the beginning, Christians have gathered to pray together (
Acts 4:24
;
12:5
;
21:5
). Prayer
meetings are valuable for our church and for those who participate. We know prayer works because we have a God who declares, “Talk to me and I’ll listen.” Through our prayers, especially with one another, we are demonstrating and validating our shared faith. Please come to this gathering, participate in communal prayer, and develop a growing intimacy with God.
