Pray For Me is a rich prayer movement that pairs adults (Prayer Champions) with students, children and families to actively pray for them. We’ll be watching a short video today about what this all entails, but you can begin signing up today to be paired with a Prayer Champion or become a Prayer Champion for someone else.
Starting in May, we will be releasing more information and the books that accompanying this exciting opportunity!
We’ll be celebrating and recognizing our graduates of all ages on Sunday, May 21. Submit your graduation information and pictures by Monday, May 15 to be included in the celebration.
And of course, there will be cake!

The entire church is invited to the E Ave Morgan Creek Pavilion Sunday, May 21 at 5pm for a church picnic and grill-out. We’ll provide burgers, hotdogs and drinks. Bring a side to share. Grill-master Steve will be manning the grills. 🙂
The new playground and pavilion are accessible from E Ave, just west of the church. All ages are encouraged to attend. Bring a lawn chair and your favorite outdoor games.
The prayers of the Apostles are prayers taken directly from Scripture – the written prayers of the New Testament that were written by Jesus followers and the Apostle Paul.
These prayers are a great pattern for us to follow as we continue to learn how to pray and want to expand our prayer vocabulary. They are deep and rich Scriptures.
There are roughly 40 in total. The prayers were written for the people, whether to use them or said on the people’s behalf.
Inspired by the Spirit, they focus on God and center on cultivating goodness and blessings among God’s people.

Easter is coming up quick – April 9. There are three services on Easter: 8:30/9:45am traditional and the 11am. I have a couple of different music and worship opportunities I want you to plug into!
SANCTUARY CHOIR – 8:30/9:45am
The choir will be singing on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday at the 8:30 and 9:45 traditional services. Choir rehearses on Wednesday nights immediately following the Lent service, around 7:05pm in the Teal Room (where Journey youth meet). For more information on choir, contact Stuart Geiger.
WORSHIP JAM – 11am
The Worship Jam is for any and all musicians (including kids!) who want to help fill the stage at the 11am service – current worship team members and any others who wish to join. We will practice Monday, April 3 at 6:00pm, and then a warmup Easter Sunday at 9:55am in the Journey classroom. Please kindly RSVP here for the Jam so I know who to expect for setup and music. If anyone you know is curious about 2nd service worship teams, this is also their first step in exploring the team. All the music and some simple practice recordings are available here. Paper copies also available ahead of time. Just let me know and I’ll get copies to you. Otherwise, I’ll provide all the music on the rehearsal day.
Thanks,
Leah
