Please take 2 minutes to answer our questions and we look forward to serving you with improved events next year. Thank you.

Do you want a richer prayer life? Do you feel stuck when you pray? Are you a prayer warrior? Do you want to learn more about prayer? If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, you’re invited to join “Upwards” fellowship in an 8-session journey through the Prayer Course (https://prayercourse.org/). Each session includes a video, practice time, and discussion. We meet every 4th Friday of the month at 7:30 p.m.
