This is a time of refreshment, encouragement, edification and purification, perfect for every heart longing to know God more intimately. The agenda will be established by Christ as we worship, glorify, and enjoy Him through singing, Scripture reading, and prayer. We look forward to this time of sharing, praising, glorifying and experiencing the joy of the Lord. We hope you can join us for this special time together.
