Praises and Petitions we are lifting to God, knowing He hears, cares, and is answering.

You will notice our Prayer List page is changing a little in that the requests are being transferred to become actual page content.  In case individuals still want to have a "printable" or more screen-shot compatible version, the pdf copy of the FULL prayer list will continue to be available. THANKS for your patience as we slowly navigate this transition!
