Worship and Prayer 


Come and join us in praying for the Power of God to revive us and join us together in our complete dependence on Him and Him alone.  We meet on Monday nights in the Sanctuary.

We divide into groups of 5 to 10 to pray aloud corporately or pray silently agreeing with the heart of prayer being spoken. You may join a group or sit in the atmosphere of prayer and pray on your own. 


You may come or go at any time.  We will respect your time and begin at 5 and end at 6. No one is late and no one is interruptive all are welcome as God leads you.

We do ask that our prayer time focus on our church, country and community. There will be a prayer focus on the easel at the entrance. 


We gather with reading a Scripture and singing a short chorus then break into Groups at the front of the Sanctuary.

We look forward to seeing you.

Celebrate Recovery

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered and Bible-based 12 Step Recovery Program. The purpose is to focus on God’s healing power through fellowship and community with others struggling with life’s hurts, habits and hang-ups. By working the 12 Steps and the 8 Beatitude Principles, issue groups open up, share experiences, and find hope and healing. In this way, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our problem.

HOW DOES CELEBRATE RECOVERY WORK?
This tried and proven recovery system uses the traditional methods of issue groups, sponsors, accountability partners, and community to build recovery for those struggling with addictive habits, codependency, childhood hurts, and other life experiences that affect our peace. In Celebrate Recovery groups, the walking wounded study, pray, share, and take the steps necessary to experience a better life.


Celebrate Recovery will offer a new six-month 12 step program beginning January 21. The group will meet each Wednesday night at 6 p.m. in the Heritage Hall building. There is a sign-up sheet in the FLC on the CR table. 

Anyone wanting to achieve a closer walk with their Lord and learn to get victory over any hurt, habit or hangup that is preventing that closer walk is welcome to join. This is not a self-help study.  It is an opportunity to learn how to allow the Holy Spirit to do the work within you. We invite any and all who desire to join. The groups are gender specific but will meet at the same time in the same building. 

You may contact Shirley Murray at 903-570-6434 for information or the church office to get on the list.
