Recent response to War Room indicates that God is calling His people to prayer, and they are responding with a hunger to learn to pray more effectively and strategically. Developed by Claude V. King, Prayer Boot Camp is a prayer training experience to provide you with basic training in prayer and to introduce the weapons of our spiritual warfare. It is not just learning about prayer. It is learning to pray by praying together with others. The content is based on The Battle Plan for Prayer by Stephen and Alex Kendrick, writers and producers of War Room. Join us March 10th and 11th for four sessions of prayer training. Friday night we will begin at 7 pm for the first session and on Saturday at 9 am which will consist of three sessions: 9-10:30, 10:45-12:15, 1:30-3. Please RSVP at the Service Opportunities table in the front foyer or call the church office to reserve your seat and materials. This Boot Camp will kick off our next Wednesday evening Bible Study of The Battle Plan for Prayer on March 15, 2017. We request a donation of $10 per person for this Prayer Boot Camp to help cover the cost of the textbook and materials, but it is not required.

You won’t want to miss these studies!

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 15th as we launch an exciting new adventure for Adults and Youth -- The Battle Plan for Prayer, by Stephen Kendrick and Alex Kendrick.

We’ll begin with a light meal at 5:45pm followed by Bible Study for adults and Youth.

Please use the table in the front hallway to register for the Bible Study. We want to make sure we are prepared with sufficient materials. Also please sign up if you plan to attend the meals.
