We are closer to our goal!  If you have not made your faith walk pledge, remember that you can still bring your Faith Walk Commitment card to church on Sunday (drop it off at the Faith Walk table) or you can make a commitment online by clicking here.

Also, note that as of March 1st the “Faith on Fire” Building Campaign has ‘merged’ with the Faith Walk campaign.  Offerings made to “Faith on Fire” will be applied to Faith Walk and statements issued accordingly.  We are asking that folks will fulfill their “Faith on Fire” commitments as part of, but not in addition to Faith Walk.  This topic is addressed more fully in the first two questions of the FAQ section on www.ourfaithwalk.net.

We have approximately 140 families in our church directory that are either members or regular attenders. These initial commitments are encouraging, but in order to reach our goal, we need to hear from everyone!

Praise God for the work he has done and is doing in our congregation.  May we see His vision for our ministry realized!

We had a great time at the Celebration Picnic – even with the cold & rainy weather! – you can’t keep bring down the enthusiasm of this group of Faith-Walking Christians!

(Our Congregational Day of Prayer and Fasting was on Feb. 26 & 27, 2010)

Friday, Feb. 26^th – Saturday, Feb. 27^th

In Scripture: to fast is normal, personal and occasional, as the need arises. The Saving Grace Congregational 24hr. Fast is for a time of special need. We want to call upon the Lord together for the Faith Walk of both our congregation and our members’ needs.

Put yourself on a Schedule:

2Tim.1:7-8  –Spirit of power and love and discipline. For maximum spiritual benefit set aside ample time to be alone with the Lord. The more time you spend with Him, the more meaningful your fast will be. Try replacing your eating time with prayer and Bible study.

Expect Results:

If you sincerely humble yourself before the Lord, repent, pray and seek God’s face. And if you meditate on His Word, you will experience a heightened awareness of His presence.  John 14:21

What is Prayer?

Prayer is communicating with God and expressing our devotion to our heavenly Father. When we pray, we invite Him to talk to us as we talk to Him.

Why Pray?

God’s Word commands us to pray  Luke 18:1, Acts 6:4, Mark 14:38 Prayer releases God’s great power to bring about change.
