  • Pause to Pray

    Shepherd’s 2025-26 theme is: Praying with an Open Heart. We can certainly pray anytime and anywhere, with a formal prayer or a “from the heart” prayer. We can pray for as short a time as it takes to say, “Lord, help!” or as long as we need to pour the contents of our minds and hearts out to our Lord. Having a specific day and time to pray is also helpful! Every Wednesday at 12:12pm you can join us in prayer. We will have the Sanctuary open from Noon to 1pm every Wednesday to use this space to pray. You can read more in the PDF below.
