New Summer Series: ONE PRAYER 2010

This Sunday, June 13th, we will be starting our new Summer series called ONE PRAYER. In John 17, Jesus prayed that His followers would join together and be ONE, just as He and God are ONE. That is the heartbeat behind ONE PRAYER... That churches and Christ-followers from literally across the globe would come together and learn, pray, give and serve, not for their glory or to promote their church, but simply to love like Jesus.

For this series we will join with over 10,000 other churches, with a combined attendance of over 1 million people to lift Him high. We will hear from some of the most influential pastors in America, (and even one that has a funny accent) and be challenged to become UNSTOPPABLE! We hope that you will join us for this incredible series experience!
