All are invited to attend our End-of-the-Year Prayer Gathering at the CHPC Fellowship Hall on Wed., December 31, 2025, from 7-8 pm. It will be a time to thank God for his faithful love & blessings during 2025, and to seek His guidance, strength, & joy for 2026. As one church body with diverse expressions of worship and prayer, we are coming together to honor God and focus on different prayer topics and engage with various types of prayer shown in scripture. There will be personal, quiet times and interactive corporate prayer times to encourage our self and each other to commune with God daily. Let us express our hearts and commune with God in this special hour of worship, confession, & praying the scripture. Please click the link for more information.
Our format will be to pray on four themes in 15 mins-segments each over the hour gathering:
- Adoration
- Response and Confession
- Requests
- Praise and Declarations
Each prayer and worship segment will have a prayer focus or topics with related scriptures to integrate during your prayer time, alongside your individual prayers. You may choose to pray alone or gather with a few friends or family members if you are at home or out of the area during the gathering time. You may also want to stream or play worship songs softly during prayers or interspersed within the prayer hour. Please see below the list of prayer focus topics listed below each theme.
