Good Friday Prayer Walk
Join us Friday, April 10 anytime between 5:30-7:30 pm for a self-led journey to the cross experience. This will be a quiet and reflective event to prepare your heart for Easter and a time of remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice.

We will offer childcare for toddlers to school-age children, but want to encourage school-aged kids to participate.

Cultivating Prayer - Family
We should start off prayer walking with prayer over ourselves; asking God to open both our physical and spiritual eyes to see people around us as He sees them. We can invite the Holy Spirit to be our Guide and ask for His protection and guidance as we walk.
