WEEK OF PRAYER

JOIN THE ZOOM MEETING

Before making a final decision on our building project, we want to dedicate a week to prayer and discernment as a church. We invite anyone who would like to join us to pray with us this week every morning at 7am via Zoom, as we seek the Lord’s wisdom, unity, and guidance for the road ahead.

We close out the week by meeting IN PERSON at Crossroads, Friday morning at 8am!

Thank you for being willing to pray with us through the final stages of this decision process.  We are grateful for you.  Each prayer time should last between 15-20 minutes. If you need to bow out at any time, please feel free to do so.

Please write down anything the Lord brought to your mind about the building project during our time of prayer—questions, concerns, hopes, or points of excitement.  Only the Elders will read your responses.

  • Please join about 10 minutes early if you can.
