24 Hour Prayer Chain | March 6

Our world continues to grow more connected through technology. As we become more aware of others’ struggles, their needs become our needs and their burdens become ours. As Christians, we believe in the power of prayer and trust that God is  always eager to hear us.

Join Christians worldwide on Friday, March 6, 2025, in seeking God’s grace and mercy for His creation.

FUMC of Grand Prairie will hold a 24-hour prayer chain that day. You may participate from wherever you are; simply commit to praying without ceasing during your designated time.

If you would like to commit to an hour and have not yet signed up, please contact Jayme, and she will add you to the schedule.
