2003 24-Hour Prayer Vigil:
As you read this bulletin article, we will be only five short days away from beginning our 2nd annual 24-Hour Prayer Vigil from Friday, March 21 at 3:00 p.m. until Saturday, March 22 at 3:00 p.m.  Not only will there be numerous prayer requests to be prayed over (prayer request cards can be found on the table in the foyer), but our prayers will be specifically focused on praying for the Reign of God in us as individuals and in the Woodlawn church.

Have you signed-up for a prayer slot yet?  Your participation is vitally needed if we are going to make 24 continuous hours of prayer a reality.  And it’s really pretty easy.  Simply write your name under a 15-minute prayer slot (or more if you like) and then show up at the church at your designated time on March 21 or 22.  When you come to pray, 2-3 prayer coordinators will greet you and provide coffee and other snacks for you when you’ve finished praying.

Spring Retreat:
And college students and young adults, our 2003 Spring Retreat is quickly approaching.  The dates are Friday, April 11 to Sunday, April 13, so make sure and sign-up to reserve your place.  You won’t want to miss out.

   Yours for Him,
   Dwayne
