Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting

Join us for Prayer-Meeting at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesdays!

We typically do a variation of reading Scripture, singing a hymn, praying together, and Pastor Matt teaching a lesson. However, our primary purpose for the meeting is corporate prayer.

Here’s an outline of Charles Spurgeon’s sermon entitled Prayer-Meetings delivered on August 30th, 1868:
