"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." - Jeremiah 29:11
"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing." - Martin Luther
Prayer is connection with God – it is a place of encounter, an ongoing conversation, an opportunity to hear and receive from the Holy Spirit, and a lifeline that sustains us. Prayer is our weapon in the spiritual battle and the gentle whisper of God speaking to us. Prayer is foundational for our walk with Jesus and important in all that we do as His disciples. The beautiful thing is that prayer is something we can learn and grow in. As a church we believe prayer is the starting point and fuel for all we do.
