E.M. Bounds (1835-1913) was a lawyer, army, chaplain, and pastor. He spent the last seventeen years of his life reading, writing, and rising before dawn every morning to pray.
From E.M. Bounds on Prayer, he writes.
“The life, power, and glory of the church is prayer. The life of its members is dependent on prayer and the presence of God is secured and retained by prayer. The very place is made sacred by its ministry. Without it, the church is lifeless and powerless. Without it, even the building itself is nothing, more or other, than any other structure. Prayer converts even the bricks, and mortar, and lumber, into a sanctuary. Prayer gives a peculiar sacredness to the building, sanctifies it, sets it apart for God, and conserves it from all common and mundane affairs….
A church with prayer in it,
has God in it”

WOVEN
Women of Virtue, Encouragement and Nurturing
Our current goal is to develop and strengthen personal relationships and sense of community among the women of Christ’s Family Church, as well as increase the understanding of God’s word.
With that in mind, WOVEN is taking a brief hiatus. We will be using the time to focus on accomplishing our mission by engaging the women of CFC.
At the end of October we will hand out a short survey to better understand the interests of CFC Women.
Our women’s ministry is a very important part of our spiritual growth. With God’s help, it is our prayer that a program be designed to be beneficial to the women of CFC.
