Donations will be collected which will go towards the Bragg’s ministry.

Prayer Night Please join us on Sunday, July 15 at 6:30 for an evening of prayer.

Summer Slam brings kids together for a whole week to learn, grow, and play. Mark the mornings of August 13-17 on your calendar and plan to sign up your children/grandchildren/neighbours (ages 5-12).

Daily Prayer Request – Wednesday, June 20, 2018

Pray for our Seniors. Thank God for every gray hair attained by righteous living. Pray that they be willing and Godly mentors, so that all can be blessed by their Christian example and ability to train us. Help us to be humbly submissive as we benefit from their wisdom and understanding. Pray that they receive the strength and power God promised to the weary and weak. Pray that they will put their hope in the Lord and be renewed in the process.

Daily Prayer Request – Tuesday, June 19, 2018

Pray for our finances, that giving would be faithful, as well as joyful, consistent, and sacrificial, and that our monthly needs be met.
