WEDNESDAYS
Midweek Wednesday Night Services
WORSHIP, PRAYER, COMMUNION & TEACHING
When: Wednesdays (RESUMES AUGUST 12)
Time: 6:15 – 7:15 PM
Location: Auditorium
Today there is a desperate need for men and women of God who know how to pray: People who will not be satisfied with what they can accomplish in their power. Instead, they long to see the power and the glory of the Living God invade the Church with supernatural displays of His Deity!
The church in Acts was birthed out of a prayer meeting. The great Revivals in America were begun with prayer! It is time for Christ-followers to fall on their knees and pray to the One who can change our country, our community, our church, our families, and our very lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is clear that the place where believers worship will be a place of prayer. It is our desire that Northside will be known as a house of prayer. Join Pastor Rocky as we gather for a time of worship, prayer, communion and teaching. A time where we humble ourselves and ask our Heavenly Father to show us mercy and to anoint our lives and our church with His power! Asking for revival in our world and lifting needs in our church to the Lord. Simply come, no registration is needed.
Children’s programming and childcare are available until 7:30 PM on Wednesdays.
