Prayer Week for Moms

Mother’s Day is on Sunday. As a church, we want to dedicate this week to moms.

We’d love for you to join us every day as we pray for moms across the world who are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ll start today and end on Friday. Invite your family and friends or your small groups to pray with you. You can also ask specific moms in your life for their specific prayer requests.
