We begin each new year with a reminder that prayer is essential, for both individual Christians and the church as a community of faith. This Lord’s Day we will observe our annual Prayer Emphasis Sunday. The sermon will focus on the example of Elijah, a righteous man whose prayers were powerful. The day will also include a Sunday School lesson presented to a combined class (junior high and up) in the auditorium. Following a fellowship luncheon, we will have our first Deacon Care Ministry prayer meeting. We look forward to enjoying the day’s events with you.
