SUMMARY
Prayer is your superpower.
Prayer is hard and it's easy for us to get distracted. But, there are two things that can fuel our prayer life and draw us into a deeper intimacy with God. One is remembering who it is we're talking to: the one who hears and acts. The other is who we're praying about. When our hearts are captivated by a love for others we're able to take our eyes off ourselves and pray, not just for our own needs, but even more fervently for the needs of those around us.

Monday, June 23rd through Friday, June 27th, 8:30am-12:30pm
We’re just two months away! As summer gets closer, we encourage you to think about friends, family, and neighbors you could invite to join your family in learning more about Jesus with us.
