JESUS SAID COME

Nehemiah Ministries:  A Call to Prayer
In February we will be launching Nehemiah Ministries, a new prayer ministry, and two new prayer initiatives:

Prayer after each of the three Sunday church services; 2. An hour of prayer at noon every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Nehemiah Ministries plans to have hours of prayer, days of prayer, teaching on prayer, and materials to aid us in our growth in prayer. Most of this will take place at our Center for Prayer and Spiritual Growth. Nehemiah was a man of prayer. Our prayer is that the Lord will raise up an army of Nehemiahs at FPC.  We ask you to pray about being a Nehemiah, a pray-er.  Will you seek the Lord about being involved?  As He leads you, will you respond by checking “Nehemiah Ministries” on the church bulletin this Sunday or call the church office.
