Psalm 61 (Listen)

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.

61:1   Hear my cry, O God,
    listen to my prayer;
2   from the end of the earth I call to you
    when my heart is faint.
  Lead me to the rock
    that is higher than I,
3   for you have been my refuge,
    a strong tower against the enemy.
4   Let me dwell in your tent forever!
    Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5   For you, O God, have heard my vows;
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6   Prolong the life of the king;
    may his years endure to all generations!
7   May he be enthroned forever before God;
    appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
8   So will I ever sing praises to your name,
    as I perform my vows day after day.

(ESV)

Esther’s story

“I did not think submitting my life to God would be the most exciting thing in the world. But now it feels like I’m finally alive and nothing else compares.”

My late teens were mostly filled with going out, drinking, clubbing, and boyfriends so I didn't give much time to think about God. I pretty much wanted to do my own thing and live life my way. Then one day, when I was 24, everything began to change.

Prayer and Bible Study
Each Wednesday at 7:00pm we meet together for a bible study, and to pray. The bible studies are led by our pastor, Mark, or one of the other members of the church, and the prayer time is open to everyone.
