Wednesday at 9:00 A.M. a women's prayer group meets at the church for a period of prayer for current concerns and prayer requests that have been submitted to the church. Friday at 7:00 A.M. intercessory prayers meet for a period of one hour again to intercede for those requests that have been submitted and for concerns as the Lord leads. Prayer works!
