“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the
prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven." (James 5:14-15) The Board of Elders and Dea-conesses opens its monthly meetings with prayer in the Worship Center. In order to attend to the spiritual well-being of our congregation. To follow the guidance in James 5, the board will offer church members and our community the opportunity to have personal prayer time with the Elders and Deaconesses. Personal prayer time will begin at 6 p.m. prior to the start of monthly meetings, the first Tuesday of the month. Please contact the church office to RSVP so we may plan accordingly, 210-614-3742.
