Elders' Retreat

Please pray for our Elders as they head out on their Elders' Retreat, beginning tonight through Saturday. Pray they hear God's voice and have clear vision for the rest of 2024 and into 2025. They will be planning the theme, goals, and overall direction for Petra Church in 2025. We know prayer is powerful! Let's unite in covering them this weekend!

What an absolutely POWERFUL weekend it was at the How We Love Workshop! 433 people learned their love style, how to express their needs, and how to grow in their relationships. Milan & Kay were awesome teachers, and we all learned so much about the factors that contribute to who we are today! We can't thank our volunteers and those who came out to this event enough!

If you are interested in purchasing Milan and Kay's book, "How We Love," see the link below.

Deeper Night

Our next Deeper Night is on Friday, May 10, at 7 p.m. Join us for a night of engaging worship, focused prayer, and personal ministry as we pursue the presence of Jesus together. And don’t forget to invite your friends and family!

Will You Answer the Call??

Every summer, hundreds of kids are impacted by the love of Jesus through worship, activities, and stories! As we gear up for this year’s “aqua awesome” SCUBA VBS, we know it takes an army to serve, support, and love on all the kids who find their way to our campus. This year, we need over 200 volunteers willing to give up just a few hours in their evening, June 10 through 14, to make a difference in the lives of our VBS kids. VBS IS NOT possible without you!

Look for the VBS display in the Atrium this Sunday (you can’t miss it!) and grab a volunteer card while you’re there!
