Before We Gather


Every Sunday morning we gather to direct our attentions to the Lord and pray together over our Sunday service.

Everyone is welcome!

9-9:45am

 

 

Utilizing the devotional book Before We Gather written by pastor Zac Hicks, we gather to focus our attention on the Lord and to pray together over our Sunday morning ministries before they begin. Although this book is written for worship leaders and worship teams, the devotionals and prayer prompts are more than applicable for anyone who wants to be encouraged and challenged in their view of worship and to pray over our services and congregation.
