join us for the 10 days of prayer!

As we begin this new year, we are excited to invite you to participate in the 10 Days of Prayer initiative! This special time of focused prayer is a wonderful opportunity to come together in unity, lifting our hearts to God as we seek His guidance, strength, and blessings for the year ahead.

As the apostle Paul encourages us in Colossians 4:2, “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Let’s embrace this invitation to devote ourselves to prayer, watching and waiting for God’s work in our lives and in the lives of our children. Together, we trust that God will answer and lead us into a fruitful and blessed year ahead.

Dear Children's Ministries Leader: Please note that our goal is to hold trainings and activities for Children’s Ministries on the second weekend of each month. However, due to holidays, scheduling conflicts with speakers, or venue availability, some events may occasionally be moved to the preceding or following weekend. The website calendar will have the most up-to-date information, and we will communicate any changes as they arise.
