Throughout this Prayer series, we are eager to see how our Element community is moved and shaped by engaging with prayer in a deeper way. We want to invite you into a space where we can intentionally gather to commune with God and worship His greatness together. The service will include various components and interactive ways of reflecting on God’s attributes and goodness. Please join us as we are reminded of how great our God is, and maybe even share how He has been working in your heart throughout this series. <br><br>Childcare available for ages birth-preschool ONLY WITH SIGN UP; children to be included in first half hour of service. Elementary aged students are invited to stay through the entire service. People can come late/leave early if needed.

Week Three: Unanswered Prayers
Unanswered prayers can be challenging for us on an individual level. They can be especially challenging in a group/community setting, where different opinions/interpretations of why they've gone unanswered come to the forefront. This sermon challenges the misconceptions we often have and shows us how we can offer Gospel encouragement to one another in the midst of our waiting-when we've yet to see/hear an answer from God or when He doesn't respond in the way we would like.
