COMING THIS APRIL

Two times: Wednesday Evenings or Sunday Mornings

God has entrusted the primary work of the Kingdom to the common, everyday Christian (us). Have you ever considered that God has providentially placed your neighbor, co-worker, son-in-law … near you so you can cultivate a relationship with her or him and invite them to your table to meet Jesus?

73rd Annual National Day of Prayer

 

LIFT UP THE WORD – LIGHT UP THE WORLD

For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him. 2 Samuel 22:29-31

The National Day of Prayer

Observed annually as a day of observance designated by the United States Congress, that asks people to turn to God in repentance and prayer. The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation as it enables us to recall and to teach the way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. The unanimous passage of the bill establishing the National Day of Prayer as an annual event, signifies that prayer is as important to our nation today as it was in the beginning.
