SUMMARY:Prayer Night
DESCRIPTION:They all joined together constantly in prayer… Acts 1:14 \nCome gather with the people of St. Mark at our monthly Prayer Night and take part in our vision of being “a church growing in prayer”. \nWhether you’re new to the faith or you’ve been a follower of Jesus for decades\, each prayer night is designed to be an energetic and interactive evening of prayer that’s comfortable to you wherever you are on your faith journey. \nPrayer Night FAQ\nWHAT IS A PRAYER NIGHT?\nPrayer Nights are a time when St. Mark gathers for the sole purpose of prayer. Typically\, after a time of singing and a short teaching\, we then begin an engaging and energetic time of prayer. These prayer times are guided by one of our leaders and you can either pray silently or aloud. \nWHAT IF I’M NOT COMFORTABLE PRAYING WITH OTHERS?\nWhether you pray silently or aloud\, each Prayer Night is designed for you to be able to participate regardless of your familiarity with prayer. \nHOW LONG IS A PRAYER NIGHT?\nPrayer nights are typically 45 minutes to 60 minutes long. \nCAN I BRING MY KIDS?\nAbsolutely. We work hard to make sure the kids can participate or have something to do during our Prayer Nights. \nIf you have any other questions\, feel free to reach out to us at office@stmark.net
