Friday, January 26th: Esther Intercessory Prayer Group— Alexandra Ferreira is leading a monthly prayer meeting for women called The Esther Intercessory Group.  Its purpose is to intercede for the Church, America, the nations, and families.  The first meeting will be on Friday, January 26th, from 7-8:30 pm in the back building.  In the future, The Esther Intercessory Group will meet on the last Friday of every month.  The goal of this meeting is that through prayer and intercession, we will build unity and family and that women within our group will rise up and start their own ministries.  We want God to get all the Glory!  As preparation for our launch, we encourage anyone led by the Holy Spirit to fast along with us for three days before the group starts.  We need to be clean vessels for the Lord so that our prayers can be effective.  If we need to forgive someone or ask for forgiveness, or repent of any sin in our lives, this would be a great opportunity to do so.  Please feel free to contact Alexandra Ferreira [[email protected]] for more information
