Pastor Bryan Carter from Concord Church and Jeff Warren from Park Cities Baptist Church would like to cordially invite you to participate in a weekly prayer call every Wednesday at 11:00-11:30 AM CST.

The call-in number is 972-798-2730.

​

The focus of the call is to pray for four specific areas:  Church (Matt 5:14),  Physical healing (Psalm 103:3), Financial healing (Philippians 4:19), and Faith over fear (Isaiah 41:10).

Every Tuesday at 7:30 am

(701) 802-5085 

Access code: 2860688

​

Pray with our city-wide church over the needs of our cities. Each week will be led by a member of our group and will last twenty to thirty minutes. 

Understanding the critical intersections of spirituality and mental health can increase the overall effectiveness and quality of treatment across an individual’s continuum of care. Faith leaders and mental health practitioners are working together, developing strong and successful examples of what can be replicated around the nation.

Equity in Action: The Next 100 Years!, the theme of bigBANG! 2020, will explore topics critical to racial, gender, and economic equity in our communities. The evidence of long-standing discrimination in our nation is clear. Disparities in income, wealth, community infrastructure, educational outcomes, health and incarceration rates all point to systems that better serve some groups and exclude others, particularly people of color and women.
