The last day of our 40 days of prayer is tomorrow, Friday, January 6!

Thank you for all who have joined us in this journey as we have listened and responded to God Word to us.

If you lost your way during this journey of prayer, have fallen behind, or never started it is not too late. Opening ourselves to God's Spirit and praying for God's direction is a lifelong process. So you may finish the journey or even begin it at any time. Copies of the pray guide will continue to be available in the Narthex.

Did your 40 Days of Prayer leave you wanting to continue in daily prayer. We offer a devotional prayer guide, These Days, year round. Copies of the guide for the first quarter of the new year (January - March) are available on the table in the Narthex.

Or do you prefer something online? Try out D365.org, a daily online devotional. Pastor Kim often uses this site when she leads the Monday Pause and Pray.

Reverse Advent Calendar

This is the last week for you to bring in your Reverse Advent Calendar donation items. Please bring them to church on Sunday or drop them by the church during office hours. After this Sunday, January 8, we will deliver them to Pathways of Hope's Food Pantry.
