We’ve all heard the scripture where Jesus says of the temple that it shall be “a house of prayer” and Paul encourages us in Philippians to bring our anxieties and requests to God in prayer, so maybe they were on to a good idea! Let’s pray about it.
Our Wednesday prayer group is starting up again and will be meeting for prayer at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday mornings to pray in “our house” for the individual and corporate needs of our church family and larger community. For more information, please see Judy Shippey or call the church office at 368-
