Time to Pray Are you in need of God’s intervention in your circumstances? Share your request or concern by writing it on an information card from the pew rack in front of you. Place it in the church prayer box on the Information Desk, or place it in the offering collection. Our intercessors are glad to remember each concern or praise shared. You are also welcome to join the group on Wednesday night at 7:15 pm.
