Talking to God | New sermon series starting January 5
Prayer is a vital practice for all believers. It is a source of strength and guidance as we navigate life's circumstances. Through prayer, we can approach God with our hopes, fears, questions, and gratitude. Prayer allows us to be honest with our Creator and become desperately dependent on Him. In this series, we will grow and learn to pray together, experiencing God’s hope and healing in the process. We’ve developed a 9-week study guide to correspond with this series that we hope you’ll go through in community with your small group, or on your own. Pick one up on Sundays in the foyer beginning December 29! If you’re interested in finding a small group, join us for Explore Groups on January 26!
Join us on Sundays each week at 9 or 10:35 a.m.
Join a small group!
We believe we are better together by growing in Christ! We have groups that are centered around life stages as well as those that span different generations. Meeting day/time/location vary throughout the week based on each group. Join us at Explore Groups to hear our vision for groups and how to get connected – learn more here!
