SERIES SUMMARY
As a faith community, we are reestablishing who we are and what God is calling us to. Hence, during this fall season (October-November), we are feeling led to deepen our connection to our triune God through prayer, both individually and corporately. Jesus’ teaching on the Lord’s Prayer will be the focus of our series to help us experience a greater depth of praise and seeking of His purpose, provision, pardon and protection. In doing so, we hope to be a reflection of Jesus and guided in His direction as a church together more and more.
