Noon Prayer 12.7.2022

Old Gate (Jeshanah Gate) 

This gate represents ancient ways and truth. Focusing on this gate challenges us to focus on returning to or going deeper into the things of God. We are being called to minister to the Lord, be in unity with one another, study and obey His Word, fast, pray, build community, and minister the Gospel like never before. - Isaiah 58
