Share A Prayer Story
We’re planning a Renovatio guide for our special church-wide time of renewal this summer, and we are looking for stories from our congregation about how you and yours have personally experienced God through prayer. Please jot down a paragraph or two to tell your story. Where do you pray? How do you pray? What have you prayed about? Have your prayers been answered? There are three ways to share your stories: 1) Pick up a prayer experience share card at the Welcome Center desk and leave your completed card in the church office. 2) Share via our online form at 2bcliberty.org/renovatio. 3) Contact Sue Wright at suewrights@att.net or 816-781-1568. You can call Sue at with questions. If you’d feel more comfortable, you can tell her your story, and she will put it down on paper. The more stories we have, the more helpful our Renovatio guide will be!
