- During the month of January, we will focus on praying for strong faith. The scripture reference is taken from 1 Corinthians 16;13, and it reads as such:
1 Corinthians 16:13 – Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong.
- We want to remind you of opportunities to continue to serve God throughout the week with us:
- Join in for our bi-weekly prayer conference calls on Mondays and Fridays from 6:00 pm-6:30 pm. The conference call number is 605-472-5360, Access code 326031.
- Join in for our corporate fast on Tuesdays from 6:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m.
- Join in for Bible study on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. held in the main sanctuary and streamed on the church’s website. Please come and out and study with us and hear what thus says the Lord.
- Our children’s church is held on the second, third and fourth Sundays of each month.
