National Day of Prayer Gathering
Our Heavenly Father has given us the task to see His name spread to the ends of the earth; prayer is used by God to use us and others to be effective witnesses. Many believers will gather in our nation throughout the day on May 1, the National Day of Prayer, to praise the Lord and ask Him to work in our leaders, our nation, and around the world.
Families are welcome to join us on May 1, 6:30-8:00 p.m., in L10, sponsored by the Men and Women’s Ministries. No need to R.S.V.P., just show up!
Following a time of prayer, join us for fellowship with hot chocolate and s’mores on the patio, weather permitting.
