Community Calendar
As we celebrate our 250th anniversary this year, our nation is at a crossroads, and Jesus Christ is our only hope. Will you join Christians from across the country and add your voice to an online movement of prayer? For 50 days—from May 15 through July 4—we will post a daily video from 50 pastors to lead us in praying. Be sure to join us each day and tell your friends and loved ones. Let’s call out to God together and ask Him to turn our nation around.
