Tuesday Prayer Group

This prayer group is open to ALL! Reverend Naile and Mason Buckingham lead a prayer group which meets weekly, every Tuesday at 9:45am in Narthex (the hallway next to the Sanctuary). 
The purpose of this group is to gather at the church to lift the needs and concerns that people have. We invite you to come and fellowship with us. When we gather, we certainly pray for each other and the needs within our church family, but we also pray for those who have experienced disasters, conflicts around the world, and for leaders within the church and in our world. 
Respect for each other is a core understanding with-in the group.

We do not require that any person within the group must pray aloud. Their presence among us is enough to encourage us in an attitude of prayer. It is open to all who wish to attend. Join Reverend Naile, Mason, and others Tuesdays - an exciting opportunity to serve Christ and your church family!
