Churches

Cheney Community Church

Today, May 3, is the National Day of Prayer. #PRAY4UNITY. Cheney Community Church is hosting a prayer gathering at 6:30 p.m. at the church, 1307 Third St. The community is welcome and encouraged to attend.

The National Day of Prayer mobilizes unified public prayer for America. This year’s theme is unity taken from the Bible verse Ephesians 4:3 “Making every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace.”

The prayer time will focus on the seven centers of influence in America; government, military, media arts, business, education, church and family. Come join us.

The church women are planning a retreat this coming weekend, May 4-5. The theme is “Battlefield of the Mind” and will feature a special guest speaker. The men held their retreat the weekend of April 20-21 at Camp Sanders in Idaho.

Saturday, May 12 will be a men’s breakfast at 8 a.m., followed by a block party. For questions regarding any of these activities, please call the church office at (509) 235-4841.
