Ladies, we want to invite you to attend Shine, a ministry just for you! Our weekly Bible study takes place each Tuesday, from 9am-10am here at MCC, and is for ladies of all ages.
This month in Shine, our focus will be on PRAYER, and resetting our prayer lives. We just finished an amazing study on breakthrough. Prayer is one of our biggest weapons to bring that breakthrough to pass. We will take it back to the foundation of a powerful prayer life, learn prayer strategies and refocus our attention to have an intentional, powerful and passionate prayer life! No matter where you are in your prayer life God always has more!
