Every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
- Luke 11:10
Prayer
The main purpose of
prayer—whether traditional
Christian prayers, daily Bible
verses, spontaneous pleas for
help or expressions of praise
and thanksgiving—is to
connect us to a Higher Power,
to deepen our relationship
to our Lord, and to affirm our
hope and faith in God’s love.
Come pray with us.
