Our prayers are with the soldiers and civilians who continue to face danger in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other dangerous posts across the world. Pray for those who have lost loved ones on all sides, and that the Prince of Peace may lead us to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and around the world.

Prayer Room:  The Prayer Room off the sanctuary is open weekdays during office hours (Tue-Thu 7:30-5:00) for anyone who wishes to come in and pray. No key necessary- come and stay as long as you like. There is a notebook for prayer requests and reports to be shared.

God bless you, and see you in church!
