Hope Prays

A house of prayer is a house that sees their need for prayer and comes alongside each other in prayer. As Elders, it is a privilege and joy for us to pray for you. In lieu of our Connection Cards, please be sure to submit your prayer requests and praise reports via the “Hope Prays” link on our website; which can be found here.
