Pray For the Women’s Retreat
It is here! Our Women’s Ministry heads to Quaker Hill Camp and Conference Center in McCall, ID on Thursday, April 27th. Pray for our women’s ministry leaders as they finalize preparations leading up to Thursday.
Here are a few ways you can be praying:
Pray that God would use this time away to grow every woman’s Hope in God
Pray that there is a genuine community developed and lived out
Pray that every woman registered makes it up the mountain (all 170 of them!!!)
That nothing unforeseen would come up that would prevent any woman from going
Pray that Pastor Ben, Holly, and Kristina would be ready to teach with clarity from the Scriptures, exalting Christ, and encouraging the women
Pray for all of the logistics (tech, housing, schedule, facilities, etc.)
(FOTM) Keep Praying for Taking Ground!
Let us finish strong in praying for Project Taking Ground. Let us continue to seek for God to provide a permanent home for Compass Bible Church Treasure Valley so that we can grow in our disciple-making efforts here in the Treasure Valley. You can find the card by clicking on the button below.
