2025 Reading Plan

Join us as we read & meditate on the prayers found in the scriptures! Each week there is a prayer(s) of the week and some Psalms. Read the prayer & Psalms and meditate on them in whatever way works best for you. You can read them repeatedly, write them down, pray through them, sing them, study them, talk to others about them, or whatever you want to do in order to learn more about the prayers of the Bible. Meditating on the prayers of the Bible should impact the way that we pray and think about our God.

Article / Blog On Prayers of the Bible

On every Sunday throughout 2025, various members and friends of our congregation will be writing articles for our newsletter & blog. These will each focus on the current prayer of the week or on that week’s Psalm(s). Read the prayers & Psalms on your own, then hear what others have to say about them. If you would like to contribute to our newsletter/ blog by writing an article, then reach out to Carl Ballard or Cameron Piner for more information.

Monthly Prayer Meetings

Prayer throughout scripture is a way to develop your individual relationship with God, but it is also a way to develop your relationship with God’s family. Collective prayer is something that is frequent throughout scripture, and it is especially prevalent throughout the book of Acts. The first century Christians frequently met together for prayer, and they also frequently went house to house to spend time with each other. One example of this is in Acts 12:12, when “many gathered together and were praying” in the house of Mary.

Throughout 2025, we will have monthly gatherings for prayer in the homes of our local family in Christ. These will be wonderful opportunities to grow closer to each other and to God through shared time in prayer.
