Pray First: Saturday Prayer
Before the calendar fills up… before the year gets busy… we’re choosing to pray first.
During our 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting, we’re gathering on Saturday mornings — January 10, 17, and 24 — to focus our hearts, align our faith, and seek God together. Time will be from 9am to 10am on each of the three Saturdays.
Each Pray First gathering will include:
• A short, powerful time of worship
• A devotional led by our staff
• A directed, faith-filled time of corporate prayer
This isn’t just another event — it’s a holy reset, a moment to start the year centered, surrendered, and expectant. Come believing for clarity, breakthrough, and fresh direction as we pray together as one church.
📍 Three Saturdays. One focus.
🕊️ Let’s begin the year the right way — together, in prayer.
