2023 Theme: OUR GOD LEADS! Theme Scripture: “He..leadeth me…”<\/em> Psalm 23:2
\nOur all-church season of Prayer and Fasting began Tuesday, January 3 – Saturday, February 11, 2023.
\n<\/strong>This is an exciting time because our entire church is once again in the season of prayer and fasting! If you haven\u2019t started, it\u2019s time to join in. For 2023 our focus is allowing the Lord to lead us as we navigate so many worldly distractions and the crafty enemy maneuvers. We will remain victorious if we follow as HE leads, regardless of the challenges we face. Please join in the prayer line at least once each week. Remember\u2026\u201cHE LEADETH ME\u2026! Psalm 23:2<\/p>\n
