Returning To Our First Love Pastor Chris
Revelation 2:1-7 called us not into more works, but toreturn to the love we had at first. And how do we return to the love we had at first? Do what you did when you first fell in love with Jesus. Sing to Him. Soak in His presence. Rejoice over His Word. Believe that He loves you with a steadfast, unchanging, and unending love.
Please DO NOT park in Mitchell-Hamline spots with signs. This has been happening over the past few Sundays, and we need to respect the requests of Mitchell-Hamline. We understand parking can be tight on Sundays, so we continue to encourage you to add extra time to your commute and use street parking when necessary. Thank you for helping us maintain an honorable relationship with Mitchell-Hamline!
Prayer & Praise Gatherings
Prayer is the foundation of Vertical Church-we want it to be our first resort, not our last. We're calling our church family to devote one evening a month to pray and praise Jesus together beginning next Wednesday, Oct 1 from 6-8pm
"It is a good thing to let prayer be the first business of the morning and the last at night. Guard yourself carefully against those false, deluding ideas which tell you, 'Wait a little while. I will pray in an hour; first I must attend to this or that.' Such thoughts get you away from prayer into other affairs which so hold your attention and involve you that nothing comes of prayer for that day." -Martin Luther
Pre-Service Prayer
In our desire to call our church into a life of prayer we have pre-service prayer happening downstairs in the Family Room, and we encourage anyone to come 45 minutes prior to the start of a service to pray. We want to see the Family Room filled with people who want to commune with God in prayer and see Him move!
Join us at any of the following times:
7:15 AM
8:45 AM
10:15 AM
