It’s been said that it’s as natural for Christians to pray as it is for a living being to breathe. Prayer is our life line to a living God. Our heavenly Father promises to hear our prayers. Please join us in the Chapel after

service each week for a short prayer session. You may sub-mit requests for prayer prior to the service by contacting Phillip or Debbie Trokey or there will be a jar outside of the Chapel where you can leave your prayer request at any time.
