Morning Prayer Services have begun again after the holidays. The services are Tuesdays at 7:30am and Thursdays at 9:00am at the Broadway Campus.

Our monthly Healing Service will be Saturday, February 4th , at 9:15am. If you desire prayer for any need, whether physical or otherwise, please come.  We are a prayer driven church, and many miracles have occurred at our healing services.  The power of prayer is open to everyone, so why not come and receive some of that power?  God has done miraculous things at these meetings, don’t miss out!

As James exhorts us in his epistle, “Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” (James 5:14-15)

Our monthly healing service is an excellent opportunity to bring friends who are in need of healing and introduce them to the healing ministry of Christ the Redeemer.

If you have no needs right now, please come pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ.
