College Encouragement Prayer Group

NEW Prayer Group forming!

“Encouragement Through the College Years” has an introductory meeting on Tuesday, August 28, at 7 pm in Room 101.

This group is for moms, dads, grandparents, and siblings who meet once a month to pray over issues college students face as they live in and around college campuses. Topics are taken from “And So We Pray – Supporting Young Adults Through the College Years” by Maribeth Harper.

Experts – those who have been through this season of life – are welcome to attend and share their wisdom.  If you are interested, please come on the Tuesday and see what we can do with a school year of prayer. Questions?  Contact Jody Webster, f16gumby@gmail.com or Catherine Neelly Burton, catherine@mygpc.org
