Mariners Church Verse 2017

Each year, the Mariners Church Elder Board select a verse for our church – one that they have prayerfully considered, and believe God has provided for us uniquely for that year. Looking back on past church verses, we can clearly see God’s hand at work through His Word in our church, and how the verse fit so well with what we were experiencing as a church at the time. This year, God led our Elder Board to Galatians 5:13 as our 2017 Mariners Church Verse.

Women’s Prayer Ministry

Women's Prayer Ministry

Prayer is conversation with God. It is a mystery that never ceases to amaze. We are able to connect with God intimately! Time spent in prayer is the most valuable part of a Christian’s life. From the beginning God created us for relationship with Him. He wants to walk with us, be present with us, reveal Himself to us, and bless us. Prayer is the place where we experience this exchange with God. We call to Him and He responds to us. We listen and He speaks. The Holy Spirit teaches us to pray for others as we lean on His prompting. It is an adventurous life when we learn to pray boldly. God says,

Call to me and I will answer you, and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3
