Prayer Night: March 24

The season of Lent is a good time to try something different in your faith.  You are invited to a prayer night at Grace on Tuesday, March 24, from 6:30 – 7:30 pm.  Throughout the main level of the church, different rooms and spaces are set up for you to engage in new or different ways of praying at your own pace.  At 7:15 pm, we gather for a brief corporate prayer service.
