🙏 Join Us for the Hope for Every Heart Prayer Walk! 🙏

Start your day with purpose and encouragement at our Hope for Every Heart Family Fest as we gather for a special Prayer Walk at 9:00 AM.

We are honored to have four local pastors share brief devotions and lead us in prayer as we reflect on four important areas of our community and culture:

❤️ Moms - Rodney Burton - Crossroots Church
💙 Dads - Ben Sawyer - New Life Pentecostal Church
👶 The Unborn - Jody Kitts - Altamont Christian Church
✝️ The Lost - Kevin Colclasure - Scott Ave Christian Church

🎵 🎤 Join us after the walk for live worship music!

This meaningful time will encourage hearts, unite our community, and remind us of the power of prayer.

To our incredible church family and partners: Thank you! 💛

We truly love getting to visit your churches, share updates, and connect with your congregations. Your support is what makes this work possible.

Right now, we’re in the middle of our Baby Bottle Project (Mother’s Day to Father’s Day), and we’re so encouraged by the churches already participating in this fundraising effort.

If your church or group hasn’t joined in yet, there’s still time: we’d love to come share at a service or small group.

You can also give online here: https://champ.ly/qFZN-H0v
