Prayer Week

Prayer Week is Monday, February 23 through Sunday, March 1 | We invite you to pray through the week in different ways: while you walk or drive in your neighborhood, attend school or after-school practices, shop in local stores, work from home or on the jobsite, and anywhere else you go during the week. As we pray individually and together on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, we'll ask God to bring peace, healing, and hope to our community.
