RENEW your prayer life

REFRESH your spirit

RECONNECT with God

Give yourself a gift of thirty minutes peace before you begin the work or school day. Come to MORNING WATCH if you want to learn more about different types of prayer. Come if you want to lay your burdens down. Come if you need some silent space to reflect. God will be present to renew and refresh your spirit.

MORNING WATCH is open to adults and high school students in the community. We will meet at the Hill Church for the convenience of WA Students. Come to one session or come to all.
