Day of Prayer & Fasting

Our next day of Prayer and Fasting will be Wednesday, September 3.  On that day, we invite you to join us as a church in skipping one or more meals and focusing that time on prayer. If you are unable to skip a meal for health reasons, try fasting from something else (television, social media, etc.).

“Back to School” time is a season filled with varying emotions. There is often excitement and anticipation for the new beginnings and rhythms ahead for the fall. Simultaneously, there can be apprehension and fear of the unknown ahead. Overarchingly, this is a season filled with many transitions. By God’s grace, these transitions will push us toward dependence on God! Deuteronomy 31:8 says, “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” The Lord goes before us and is with us in these transitions. In light of this verse, please join us in specifically praying for children who are transitioning into a new school year. Whether they are heading to preschool, kindergarten, middle school, high school, or college - pray they would understand their need for Jesus in this transition and depend on Him. Pray for parents to support their children well, while also trusting the Lord with their fears and apprehensions. Pray parents would model a dependence upon Jesus to their children in the midst of change. Pray for teachers as they adjust to a new group of students. Pray for discernment, energy, and grace as they navigate how to best love and equip the students God has entrusted them with. Lastly, pray our church family would come alongside and support one another in this time. May we consider one another needs more significant than our own. Reach out to educators, parents, and those in the midst of “Back to School” transitions for ways to specifically pray.
