Join Us In 52 Weeks Of Prayer
Each week during our prayer time we will highlight a specific group in our community (local law enforcement, schools, hospitals, military, government leaders, foster care/DCS, farmers, missionaries, etc.) as is an intentional way for our congregation to remain prayerful, outwardly focused, and unified as we intercede for our community and beyond.
This week in our prayer focus, we are lifting up several neighborhoods within and around Fortville, Indiana: Old Town, Timber Ridge, Mt. Vernon Pointe, and Mt. Vernon North. Each of these communities reflects a unique gathering of families, individuals, and everyday rhythms of life. Let’s pray for connection, belonging, safety, spiritual openness, and God’s provision for every person who lives here.
Scripture
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” — Hebrews 10:24
