Prayer journaling is recording our conversations with God, not just our requests but what the Lord is teaching and revealing to us as well as what we are saying to Him.  It is one of the ways that we turn inward and engage in intentional reflection so we can see the deeper workings of God in our hearts.  Prayer journaling also enables us to track our prayers and God’s answers to them, so that we can see His faithfulness over time.  Please join us at this special night of drawing closer to God through prayer journaling.

Pentecost Sunday, June 9
It’s that time of year again. Children’s Day is on June 9 which is Pentecost Sunday.

Wednesdays through June 19
7:00-8:00 pm
Though attempting to live a transformed life by the power of the Holy Spirit, Christians in Ephesus were immersed in an evil culture and surrounded by sin.  Discouraged believers needed a reminder of God’s grace and love, the blessings they had in Christ, and their commitment to holy living.  Many Christians today need this as well. This Bible Study – Ephesians: Our Endless Blessings in Christ – offers a practical blueprint for Christian behavior. Prayers that please God, walking in love and light, and dealing with spiritual warfare are just some of the topics the Apostle Paul tackles. Ephesians shows us our continual need for God’s help and demonstrates that everything good we enjoy is an expression of God’s great love!
