From Pastor Matt

Church, we know that prayer always produces the kind of results that no amount of human effort can ever produce.  When we pray, we are asking for the dunamis (dynamite) power of the Holy Spirit to destroy any and all obstacles that we might be facing as we enter a New Year.  This can only be done as we invite Him to be a part of our lives throughout the year. 

I’m asking you to join us by committing to one or more days during this season, and to go mark in your name in on the day(s) you will commit to on the giant wall calendar in the church foyer.  Let’s all be a part of God’s victorious Church, as we help further His Kingdom here in our region of Texas!

In His Service,
Pastor Matt
