Join the Pursuit

What is your pursuit? It is to have a closer walk with God? Is it to hear God and do what He says? Is it to reach out to my neighbor who you don't know and begin to build a relationship with them? Do you need to know what your pursuit is?


That's what we're doing at Prayer and Praise this summer! We are a church in pursuit!  During the next few weeks we will be out in our community at Friday Night Live, the West Michigan Fair and in Scottville for a Sunday Night picnic and service and at the Harvest Festival. We are pursuing what God has for those who live, work and play in Ludington. We would love to have you join us! Look for our booth at each of these events.

Summer Memories

If you were to close your eyes and think back to when you were younger and got a picture of what summer memories are to you , what would you see?

I picture camping, campfires (with smores' of course), riding my bike, neighborhood VBS club, kick the can (who remembers playing that)? But I have to admit the one thing I remember the most is going to church camp. I was nine years old when I made the decision that I wanted Jesus in my life. What are the memories on your heart?

This summer at Prayer & Praise we are going out into our community of Ludington and Scottville to make memories. We are touching lives with the Love of Jesus Christ! We invite you to join us in the pursuit! Come and join us this Sunday evening at 5 pm at the Waterfront Park in Ludington. We will be having music, face painting, games AND free hot dogs & lemonade between 5 and 6 pm, our service will begin at 6pm. Bring a blanket, chair and invite your neighbors. This will replace our Sunday morning 10 am service, so don't come to the church, feel free to visit another area church.
