This summer, our spiritual focus is on the value and practice of prayer. Each week online, Pastor Kristie Finley and Jim Cochrane are offering the Spiritual Toolkit to encourage personal prayer practices. Each Sunday, beginning on July 11 and continuing through August, our texts and sermons will lift up the prayers of the Bible as they appear in the Old Testament, Gospels, and Epistles. Our prayer is that each of you will find time to enrich and deepen your prayer life as we emerge from this pandemic into a new season of worship, fellowship and service.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
