All-Church Season Of Prayer and Fasting
We come together for our all-church season of fasting and prayer at the beginning of the new year. For 2025, the first day is Monday, January 6th, and the final day is Friday, February 14th.

Today we honor a Woman of Excellence: The Secretary of the National Association of the Church of God (NACOG)!
