House to House prayer is a monthly prayer meeting organized by our Care Group ministry. Each month a different area of town is selected with a goal of having two or three care groups join together in prayer each month. These prayer meetings are held in the homes of people who live in the respective care groups. This is an opportunity for both prayer and fellowship, and everyone in the selected care groups is encouraged to come. There is a brief time of fellowship and snacks after prayer.
