Prayer is a vital part of this church. It is our communication with God. Through prayer, we petition, worship, give thanks, ask forgiveness and confess our sins. In all relationships, communication is key to making that relationship grow and strengthen. Prayer is our opportunity to thank God for the many blessings that we receive every day and for the special blessings God has granted us. Thru prayer, we can worship and tell God how wonderful he is; we can confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. Our God knows our needs before we ask. He wants us to share our hearts with Him.
