Pull Together as a Church

Pull Together in Prayer: "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessolonians 5:17) "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" (Matthew 21:22).
Pray for each service of the church and church staff.

Pull together in Attendance: "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together...." (Hebrew 10:25) Our faithful attendance will keep our church strong. It will also be a strong testimony for Christ to others in our community.

Pull together in Giving: "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse...." (Malachi 3:10) The Scriptural method of giving is the tithe. Give God what belongs to him. And do it in a generous, joyful spirit.
