  • MAIN THING:

    Celebrate - I Will Praise

    OVERVIEW:

    This series we are teaching how prayer is simply a conversation with God. We focused on how we can celebrate. Thanking God for who He is and what He has done. Prayer isn’t just asking for help, but also celebrating the good things that happen in life. When we celebrate with God, we are able to remember all He has done in our lives!

    Help - Ask for Help

    OVERVIEW:

    We learned that prayer is not only about celebrating what God has done, but we can ask for help. God wants us to pray about everything. Nothing is too big or too small for Him! We can pray anytime, anywhere, and about anything. When we feel scared, nervous or confused, we can ask for help and He will be there!
