Water for Change

Now-Until April 3rd
Narthex
Pastors Eric and Anna Ester are in Guatemala, sharing the freedom from bondage that only Jesus can bring. During last year’s mission trip, Pastor Eric was asked, “What is your greatest need?” With no hesitation, he answered, “We need a well. We have no water for the church.”

“Water for Change” is our way to help. If we bring to church the few dollars we would usually spend on our tea, coffee or soda during the week, we can provide water, not only for the church in Guatemala, but also for the women’s shelter. What a blessing it would be for this year’s mission team to take this gift of water to our brothers and sisters in Christ!

SEEK GOD FOR THE CITY 2015

Prayer walk (or drive) your neighborhood using the daily devotional. As you pray for our neighbors and city, mark where you have prayed on the large map in the sanctuary. These tags will help us see the streets and homes that have been prayed for during Lent, and we believe these prayers will change our hearts towards our community even as God answers these prayers on behalf of our city. For more information, see Sheryl Curbow Shaw.

Comment Cards are now available to share what God is saying to you during your prayer walks
