This evening at 6:00pm we begin a period of 24 hours of
prayer. A core value of our church in that Prayer is a priority in the
Christian life.
Jesus said "My house
shall be called a house of prayer."
As people come to the church each hour
over the next 24 hours we believe God will hear our prayers and that lives will
be changed. God answers prayers!
Just what is a prayer vigil? The idea is many centuries old. "Vigil" indicates a time of "vigilance", wakefulness, a watch, originally "kept on the night before a religious feast with prayer or other devotions." We observe a 24 hour prayer vigil each year the week-end of Palm Sunday in preparation for the following week of ministry leading to Resurrection Sunday! Hundreds of prayers have been answered and miracles taken place since our prayer vigil in 2008. Join us for our 8th year of seeing our church become a House of Prayer for a 24 hour period.

We invite you to join us in this prayer vigil. If you cannot come to the church - please select a time to devote one hour in prayer and simply comment to let me know when you prayed and how your time with God went. If you are concerned that you do not know how to pray for one hour – no worries – a prayer guide is provided to take you through the hour of prayer. If you are in the area - you are invited to come any hour from 6:oo pm on Friday until the closing hour beginning at 5:00 pm on Saturday.
