Join us for 21 days of prayer!
What’s your first instinct – to solve, to take action, or to pray? Instead of acting first before turning to God, prayer should be our first response, not a last resort.
Over the next 21 days, we will seek God together as we focus on reaching people who are far from God or disconnected from the church, growing as disciples who make disciples, and intentionally investing in the next generation.
Whether you pray alone or with others, may this season deepen your faith and remind us that God is faithful to lead when we seek Him first.
“Devote yourselves to prayer.” —Colossians 4:2
