First, take time to be quiet and listen to God

Please join us as we pray for our community

We find it helpful to use the
BLESS 5x5 prayer method:

Pray  5 blessings for 5 people for 5 minutes a day for 5 days a week for 5 weeks

Bodily needs - health, protection, strength
Labour needs - work, income, security
Emotional needs - joy, peace, hope, love, acceptance
Social needs - marriage, family friends
Spiritual needs - salvation, faith, grace

Pray for your community
Pray for the street you live in, for each household and person
for conversations about Jesus to start
for friendships to develop
for individual needs
for people to know Jesus
BLESS each home, each person
