Vision Sunday Chili Cookoff is Feb 4, and the Quarterly Giving Report
Happy New Year Church Family,
Don’t stop praying
God is so cool. I love it when He uses multiple avenues to get my attention. For example, we’re in a series on prayer and Pastor Steve and Jade just preached about being persistent in prayer. And just two days before, Matthew West dropped a new song called, “Don’t Stop Praying.” Take a moment to listen and take a lifetime to learn the lesson.

I love this part of the song…
Don’t stop praying for the prodigal
Don’t stop praying for the miracle
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen
Don’t stop praying that addictions end
Don’t stop praying for deliverance
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen
Oh, don’t stop praying for the sickness healed
Don’t stop praying for His power revealed
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen
No, don’t stop praying for the kingdom come
Don’t stop praying that his will be done
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen
