Pledge to Pray offers us an opportunity to pray for our local community. We invite you to pray and to share this with 5 friends as you feel comfortable

We identified 10 important causes to pray for over the 10 days between Ascension Day and Pentecost.

4. New Parents and their children. We pray especially for new parents that babies and children will be nurtured in environments that support the development of their unique gifts and talents.
