Prayer Focus

Our current prayer focus stems from God's hope and our hope to be a "praying" congregation. This affects us individually and as a whole.

That is we pray (relate to God) privately, in small groups, and as a whole congregation. Praying is one of the six marks of discipleship.

Prayer is also a primary tool for making disciples of Jestus Christ for the transformation of the world -- the mission given us by Christ.

Here then are some helps for each of us to consider in improving our prayer lives:
