A Call to Prayer For Marriages – Thursday, April 29 – A CALL TO ACTION – These have been increasingly challenging times for marriages and the enemy desires to cause disruption and destruction of the home. It is with this in mind that we have scheduled a day of fasting and prayer for marriages and families. We are asking people to sign up for 15 minute time slots for prayer. We will be offering prayer guides of things we can be praying for concerning marriage and family. We’ll have them available in our newsletter and at the Info Desk and Welcome Table at church. We would also like to encourage you to fast for one meal that day and take the time you would normally use to eat to pray instead. There is much at stake and we serve the God of the impossible! Won’t you join this team of prayer warriors on Thursday, April 29th? Sign up by contacting the church office.
