21 Days of Prayer

The month of January had us praying together as church family.  Many also fasted from 6am-6pm as we brought these requests before the Lord.  Monday through Friday we meet at the church at 6pm to sing and pray together over the daily requests and then we have a simple snack to break the fast.  On Friday and Saturdays we meet in the homes of church leaders - again to sing and pray, but to also share a meal. It is a blessing to know the Lord hears our prayers and it is helping us to grow in unity as a church family.
