READING THROUGH THE BIBLE IN 2024
We will be systematically reading through the Bible together in 2024. We will have daily Old Testament and New Testament readings and this plan available within the next couple of weeks - both online and in print.
21 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Let us prepare to begin 2024 in a season of prayer and fasting; to draw near to God, to eliminate opposition to His will, and to ask Him for spiritual breakthrough. We are encouraged to pray and fast for 21 days, from January 1st through 21st. Begin to pray now as we prepare for this church-wide initiative.
