The Congregational Care ministry seeks to support the spiritual well-being of everyone in the Fourth community through the seasons of life. All are invited to participate both in prayer and in service and support groups for men and women.
Congregational Prayer
Prayer is fundamental to the Christian life and vital to our life together as a church body. Fourth has two weekly opportunities for corporate prayer:
Sundays | 8:30–9:15 a.m. | The Commons
Note: March 30 prayer will be in the Chapel (Room 233)
Wednesdays | 5:30–6 p.m. | Online via Zoom
Find the Zoom link in the Midweek Updates emailed to the congregation each Wednesday morning.
To receive Fourth's prayer request updates each Friday, subscribe online or contact Noel Bradley at nbradley@4thpres.org.
