Emmanuel Lutheran Church

One Street at a Time

Praying in partnership with fellow believers on a regular basis for those who live and work around us is one of the most powerful and active things we can do.

When Paul tells us to "pray continually" he is reminding us to live in constant recongition of our total dependence of God and the work of His Spirtit. That is the cornerstone of all effective outreach!

Therefore we are asking the congregation to pray for the West Central Neighborhood one street at a time.
