One evening a week

By Pastor Mike Mitchum

Wednesday nights have become a highlight for me. Each Wednesday at 7:30 a team of congregation members meet to pray for anyone who comes to request prayer for healing. The team has been trained to pray for others, and those who have come have been quite vocal about the experience.

What most have said to me is that they are glad they came. The comment I have heard more than any other is that the experience has been an affirming one for them. It has affirmed their faith in a loving God who desires to answer the prayers of His children. It has been affirming to be held up in prayer by brothers and sisters in the family from CNC.

We have seen God heal as a result of our prayers in some cases. Healing doesn’t always take place in response to our prayers, but we continue to pray for those who have requested it. Our meeting together rests on a simple premise: God loves his children and wants to help them in time of need.

All anybody needs to do to be prayed for is to show up. We will take it from there. You will not be asked to pray, the team will pray for you.

We meet in the back building (Rooms 4 & 5) starting at 7:30 each Wednesday night. Enter the Church from the main entrances and follow the signs to the back. It couldn’t be easier, and I am confident you will be affirmed in your faith and our Father’s love for you.

Learning to Live with Chronic Pain

Did you know that 1 in 3 people (this includes children) have chronic pain and that 2 out of 3 seniors have chronic pain? Many of these people don’t look ill. They live with an invisible chronic illness.

This invisible illness can be tough to live with. CNC is offering a 5 week class on Learning to Live with Chronic Illness by Lisa J. Copen.

It will start Thursday, November 5 and meet during the day. This group is open to men and women. The time and meeting place is still to be determined.
