when they are on their knees before God in prayer.

Week of Prayer
Acts 1 tells us that after Jesus ascended into heaven, the early disciples gathered together and “with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer” until the Day of Pentecost. This past Sunday was Ascension Sunday, and the coming Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, so our church is following the example of those early disciples and having a week of focused prayer. I want to invite you to join us as I post our daily prayer guide.
Prayer Quote of the Week
Prayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. And prayer is the turning away from ourselves to God in confidence that he will provide the help we need. Prayer humbles us as needy, and exalts God as wealthy.

Prayer Quote of the Week
Prayer is always an act of faith.
It begins with faith, must be carried through in faith, and finished in faith. Every ordinary prayer prayed in the most ordinary way
by the most ordinary person is a revolutionary statement of trust.
