January 8- February 4

Prayer Focus at Galloway

We’ll kick-off an eight week study on prayer using the 40 day devotional book, Love to Pray, by Dr. Alvin VanderGriend. We’ll be learning how to pray, what to pray, ways to pray, and why to pray at all. Through the use of scripture and reflection, daily devotionals and weekly messages, we’ll learn to love to pray and grow deeper in our relationships with the Lord.

The devotional, Love to Pray, will be available January 1st. Individuals can use the 40 Day Devotional on their own, or they can join a Life Class or a Life Group to go through the 40 Days of Prayer with a group of folks who also want to grow in prayer. Those participating in a group will be taught by national prayer leaders like Henry Blackaby, who wrote Experiencing God, Paul Cedar of Mission America, and Fern Nichols, Founder of Mom’s in Touch, and Dr. Alvin VanderGriend, Harvest Ministries.

Information on Life Groups on Love to Pray – will be available at the Welcome Center. There will be groups in the daytime and evenings, in the church and in the community you live in.  Any questions, please contact Robin Montgomery at 814/432-4068.
