END THE YEAR STRONGER THAN YOU STARTED

We are ending our Make God Last Challenge by experiencing Advent in an intentional way and worshiping Christ this Christmas season. To end the year we are continuing the challenge to lean into following things:

1. Read the Bible and Pray Daily.
2. Invite a friend to church.
3. Come to the Prayer Room.
4. Add Your Own Challenge
