Dear Church Family,

Have you ever struggled with prayer? Wondered if you were doing it “right” or why the answers didn’t come?

This Sunday’s sermon is titled “Teach Us to Pray,” based on Luke 11:1–13. We’ll explore Jesus’s response when the disciples—who already knew how to pray—asked him to teach them again.

Jesus doesn’t offer formulas or guarantees. Instead, he gives us a way to pray that’s honest, grounded, and persistent. Not because we’ll always get what we ask for, but because we’ll never have to pray alone.

Whether you’re confident in prayer or feeling like you’re knocking on a silent door, this message is for you.

Come as you are.
Let’s ask, seek, and knock—together.

Grace and peace,

Pastor Debbie
