Youth Prayer Challenge
For the 2024 Lenten Season, the youth of the Lower Prince George’s County Cluster are being stretched to grow in faith, through prayer. Here’s how: every young person between the ages of 12-18 will keep a prayer journal. For 46 days, our youth, along with Pastor Nia and all youth advisors, will write the date at the top of the page then write a prayer.
For the remainder of February ONLY (until February 29th), in addition to the prayer, we are also being challenged to compose a love letter to God.
