Prayer and Fasting Guide
We're embarking on a dedicated season of prayer and fasting together as a church community, starting on Monday, September 18. We extend a warm invitation for you to unite with our staff and elders on this spiritual journey. Your involvement can take various forms, and the specific style and duration of your fast matter less than the depth of your devotion to God during this time. Join us as we seek His presence.
Text PRAY30 to 833-533-1587 to receive a text prompt each evening for the next day's prayer and fasting.
