21 Days of Prayer
21 Days of Prayer - September 22 to October 12, 2025
For 21 days, our church will pray together, walking through the portions of the book of Acts together. We’ll pray for God to move in us, among us, and through us for His mission. Each day, there will be one key verse or passage, one theme, and a prompt for prayer.
