24 Hours of Prayer for Easter
“Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.”
We would like to fully cover 24 hours in prayer - from 6:00pm on Friday, March 22 to 6:00pm on Saturday, March 23. We aren’t expecting people to come to the church building to pray - just pray wherever you are!

What To Pray For
“When God rends the heavens and comes down on his people, a divine power achieves what human effort at its best fails to do. God’s people thirst for the ministry of the Word and receive it with tender meltings of soul. The grip of the enslaving sin is broken. Reconciliation between believers is sought and granted. Spiritual things, rather than material things, capture people’s hearts. A defensive, timid church is transformed into a confident army. Believers joyfully suffer for their Lord. They treasure usefulness to God over career advancement. Communion with God is avidly enjoyed. Churches and Christian organizations reform their policies and procedures. People who had always been indifferent to the gospel now inquire anxiously. And this type of spiritual movement draws in not just the isolated straggler here and there but large numbers of people. A wave of divine grace washes over the church and spills out onto the world. That is what happens when God comes down. And that is how we can pray for the church today.”
–From “When God Comes To Church” by Ray Ortlund
