Corporate prayer – led by Betsy de Cruz

Restoration from the Inside Out is Coming
Waiting on the Lord

Wednesday Corporate Times
July 24th – August 14th 7-8:30 PM

It’s been a long few years full of change, and hard work on the building. Are you weary?

Encouraging Word
Matt Ryniker in his latest video to us says, ““It’s no bad thing to need a rest and a snack,” speaking of Elijah after fleeing from Jezebel. He reminds us of the promise of Isaiah 40, “The Creator of the ends of the earth…gives strength to the weary…those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” Matt says, “It’s what God does for His people and He will receive full credit if we simply wait on Him. So we will wait before His presence so that He will reveal His goodness to us. Restoration from the inside out is coming.”

Wait on the Lord Together
Come wait on the Lord for renewal and refreshment and seek Him in prayer on consecutive Wednesdays for four week beginning July 24th from 7-8:30PM (also July 31st, August 7th and 14th). The first 40 minutes is good for those of you who are bringing your younger children, and after a brief break, we’ll continue until 8:30PM – all ages are welcome for the entirety. A number of the staff desired to lead these times so it will be varied yet focused on waiting on the Lord.
