Pressing On

Last Sunday we launched our Pressing On Forward in Faith campaign. If you have not signed up for a 24 hour fast you can do that today in the atrium. We have Devotional Guides and Prayer Journals on the table in the atrium to give more guidance during these 40 days of prayer.  You can also sign up for one of the Informational Gatherings that will provide more details about the campaign. If you have any questions speak to one of our Elders or Ministers. You can also access further information and resources at pacoc.net/312
