"Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" Prayer Summit
More prayer leaders are signed up for the upcoming Prayer Summit than last year! Praise God! But if you have not yet done so, please sign up right away. There are still some scholarship funds available. If you are a prayer leader, do not wait. We want you to sign up soon because now the Prayer Summit is open to everyone who wants to come until we are full. If you need assistance with the cost, contact prayer ministries at (509) 242-0512.

For pastors, this year this summit qualifies for continuing education credit. The training from Professor and Pastors Joseph Kidder, David Jamieson, and Shintell Izquierdo, will bring vibrancy, increased prayer, and unity in your church.  Registration continues through September 26, 2025 as long as there is space.

We are excited about this special time to "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" and learn how prayer brings you closer to Jesus. To register and for more info go to www.uccsda.org/prayersummit.

Pentecost 2025 — Will You Participate?
There is nothing more important than praying for the Holy Spirit to come upon every man and woman and boy and girl in our conference. And He comes because we invite him. Will you pray this? I promised to give you a form to share your commitment to pray. The prayer leader in the North American Division would love to know how many are praying in UCC.

I commit to pray for Pentecost 2025

4th Friday Changes to 1st Friday in November

Prayer Leaders, let us join together monthly to pray and network together. Next 4th Friday is October 25, Friday 7 to 8 p.m. Due to scheduling issues, we will begin to hold 4th Friday on 1st Friday instead on November 1. So for this one time we will have two Friday's in a row to get together to pray. I am more available on the first Friday of the month to meet with prayer leaders. I hope that works for you. First Friday in October is the Prayer Summit, so we begin this new time in November.
