We will be starting 2026 with 21 Days of Dedication (beginning on Sunday, January 4). Typically in January many of us are setting goals and making resolutions, but we want to begin with a bit of a different posture – one of surrender and dedication. We would love to see everyone, from children to adults, engage on some level. Please be praying about what that may look like for you.
Here are a couple of ways you are invited to engage:
- Worship and Prayer Nights: We will gather from 7:00 – 8:00 pm on Wednesday nights January 7, 14, 21 to worship and pray. Childcare is available for children ages birth to 5th grade with registration. Children are also welcome to join us in the sanctuary. Please register for for childcare for each night you plan to attend. Register HERE.
- Bible Reading Plans: Our hope is that we will each grow in confidence in God’s character and His actions. One way to do that is by spending more time reading the Bible. Find some suggested plans HERE.
- Morning Prayer: We gather in the Sanctuary each Tuesday morning from 6:30-7:30 am to pray. 6:30-7:00 is a time for personal prayer and we transition to a corporate time of prayer at 7:00. We would love for you to join us when you can.
The Sanctuary will also be open from 5:30 – 6:30 am every Monday to Thursday (starting January 5) for personal prayer time. There will be worship music playing and scripture on the screen. You are welcome to come any day for any amount of time during that hour to pray. - Digital Fast: One fasting option is a digital fast. Find out more HERE.
- Daniel Fast: We will be doing a Daniel Fast (Daniel 1.12, 10:2-3) from January 5-25. During a fast, we give up something to focus more time and energy on God and as a way of acknowledging our hunger for Him. We encourage you to think about how you may participate. Below are some resources that may be helpful.
