We are calling everyone to prayer.
In this moment, we need more of God not just answers. This is an opportunity to grow in our dependence on God, to become more confident and bold in prayer, and experience what we really need - more of his loving presence and kingdom perspective. In this moment, we want to pray with expectancy that God will move in a powerful way in our hearts and in our world.
So we are calling our entire community to 40 days of prayer and fasting that will end with May 31st Pentecost Sunday, the day we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and birth of the Church. Join us as we use the Lectio365 app to guide us in daily prayer.
Forty days may sound intimidating, but we are convinced God’s Spirit is drawing near and that we need to hear form him to prepare for what is next. Throughout history, when the church suffers God moves in powerful ways. Because suffering presents the church with an opportunity to become more dependent on God, more bold, and empowered by God’s presence.
This is a call for everyone to pray!
