Moms in Prayer The vision of Moms in Prayer is that every school in the world would be covered with prayer. Would you prayerfully consider joining with other women in our church (mom and women who are not moms but have a heart to pray for our young people) to pray for the kids in our schools. With everything that is going on in our schools right now, we may feel like we are powerless to do anything. That is the farthest from the truth, we have an all powerful God to call upon. He is in control, and He is calling us to come together in prayer. This group meets on Mondays at 1:30 pm. This group has taken a break for the summer but will start up again in the fall when school starts. For more information, please contact Karen Verhoog at NewJersey@momsinprayer.org

They will be doing the study entitled ABIDE: A Study of 1,2, & 3 John by Jen Wilken. “How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? This study will help you discover how 2,000 years later, the apostle John’s words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth. He reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us as well.” For more information, email Peggy at peggygoitz@gmail.com. **There is a storytime for children during this group.
