Time to Pray Each Wednesday at 7:15pm a number of our people meet for prayer in the Fellowship Room. We share songs, concerns and prayer for the needs brought to our attention. If you have a prayer concern you would like us to remember, please complete a Connection Card from the pew rack in front of you. Write out your concern and place this in the small church-shaped box at the far right of the platform. All requests will receive prayer.
