Worship This Sunday
Five Prayers | “Divine Healing” with Rev. Dr. Ron Walborn | Matthew 8:1–4
Join us this Sunday as we conclude our prayer series with a message from our guest speaker, Rev. Dr. Ron Walborn. Divine healing is a biblical teaching and is one of the fourfold tenets of The Alliance. Ron will share from Matthew 8 and his own personal experiences, encouraging us to be people of prayer for healing.
Ron has a B.A. in History from Nyack College, an M.Div. from Alliance Theological Seminary, and a D.Min. from Fuller Theological Seminary. Ron has pastored Alliance (C&MA) churches in Connecticut and California. He currently serves as the School of Ministry Director at Church of the City, in New York City. Together with his wife, Wanda, the Walborns are sought-after speakers, teaching on healing, the deeper life, living in the power of the Holy Spirit, and more. Most recently, Ron and Wanda led the evening prayer and healing service at The Christian and Missionary Alliance’s General Council in Columbus in May of 2025.

30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World
You're invited to join us in praying for Muslims around the world by picking up this 30-day prayer booklet at The Hub. We want to be lifting them up during the month of Ramadan, an Islamic holiday where Muslims fast and pray in hopes of drawing closer to God. Each day is a story of a different people group in need of Jesus, with prayer points to help guide you.

Time: 7–9pm
Place: in Room A403
Cost: $80 (includes Seven Pillars Workbook, Journal, and the Pure Desire book)
Pure Desire Ministries is starting another group! If you missed joining the Seven Pillars of Freedom group in August, don't worry—a new group will begin meeting in March and will run through December. Don't miss this opportunity to join a trusted community.
Many men who struggle with sexual brokenness try to do it alone. They believe the lie that sexual brokenness is about sex; when really, it’s about medicating the pain in their lives. Despite their losses—marriage, ministry, relationships, and more—they continue to return to unwanted sexual behaviors. But the truth is, we cannot fix a problem if we don’t know what’s causing it.
Through the Seven Pillars of Freedom, you’ll start to understand your whole story and identify what contributes to your sexual brokenness. You will begin your recovery from unwanted sexual behavior with a trusted group of men on the same journey. Working with guided lessons and a trusted community, you will develop the tools necessary to break free, heal your relationship, and take back your life.
Registration is $80 and includes the Seven Pillars Workbook, Journal, and the Pure Desire book. If you have any questions or want to learn more, reach out to Chenny Langness at cnlangness@gmail.com. Registration closes March 1st.
