Season of Prayer
Here at Central, we believe God is moving in powerful ways. Whether it’s equipping you to connect with your oikos, challenging you to grow deeper in your faith, or getting you plugged in to serve, God is using Central to help you and the people around you to know Christ.
As our congregation continues to grow, we’re blessed and burdened with important decisions we need to make regarding the future of Central—specifically our facilities. We’re calling our entire congregation to a season of unified prayer. We’re setting aside the entire month of November to seek God in prayer together.
Each week we’ll have a new topic to pray for: thanksgiving, wisdom, unity, and sacrifice/surrender. We’ll also have a key Scripture verse to focus on and specific prayer points you can be praying each day of the week.
We’ll have updated info here on the website each week for you to check out. We hope you’ll join us during this Season of Prayer at Central.
P.S. If you want to receive daily text message reminders to pray during this Season of Prayer, text PRAYER to 1-855-221-4567 and you’ll receive a reminder each weekday through this month.
