Sectional Prayer Requests
In 2001, the Women's Ministries leadership team began a new emphasis in their scheduled prayer times for the District. On the second Tuesdays of each month at 10:30 a.m., the leadership team prays for the needs of churches within a specific section of our District. At the end of the year, having finished praying through the needs of all of the sections, the needs of itinerating missionaries are presented to the Lord. The leadership team of the district's Women's Ministries department is inviting all constituents of the District to join them again in praying for the needs of churches within specific sections. The team is currently praying for the Central San Joaquin Section and the Butte Section.
