Community Night of Prayer

March 20th

Prayer is an essential part of any ministry. Woodcrest is partnering with Alive Church, TNT Youth Ministries, the Bridge, and Align Life Ministries for a community night of prayer. We will be praying over what God is doing in our local communities and for the growth of His Kingdom. The night will include worship, a devotional message by Executive Director of Woodcrest Retreat, Bill Klees and fellowship. Join us to support and pray over these local ministries.
