Praying for the Peace Church body

Peace Church Praying Community, here is a new section, to be praying for the whole church community where we will focus on one key aspect of who God has called us to be as a church. This week we want to remind you that we are:

Family Focused
As a family focused church, we believe God works deeply through the relationships closest to us. Over the next two weeks, let’s commit to praying for the families of Peace Church. Pray that our homes would reflect Christ’s love, patience, and truth. Pray for unity in marriages, wisdom and guidance for parents, and encouragement for those walking through challenges. Ask God to cultivate a deep sense of belonging for every individual within our church family. Invite God to help us care for one another, not only within our own households, but as a church family that supports, uplifts, and walks together through every season. And as you pray, lift up the family commitments you have built or are building through the Becoming campaign.
