21 Days of prayer

Faith is oftentimes sightless as we walk blindly into seasons and situations, trusting that God will be faithful in our lives as we trust in Him. There is an element to our faith that can feel senseless as well; when God is calling us to do something that may seem counter to common logic. It makes no sense, yet it makes perfect sense.

We need to unite in prayer as we journey into what God has for us next in our lives and in our church. When we add prayer to the mix, we can move forward with a deep confidence that God is leading us, even if we don’t understand everything.

Want to know more about the purpose of these next 21 days? Watch this video of Pastor Bruce explain. We invite you to join us as we take the next 21 days to fast and pray, seeking God for what He would have for us as we move forward by faith into the future.
