Prayer Guide
Prayer is the response that others may not see, and though it may not always produce immediate results, it always holds the most power. Jesus tells us that prayer can move mountains! Here is the past weeks' prayer request for you to pray over.

Help me to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. I pray that as a community, we grasp Your vision for Brookside. Lead us to take a collective step of faith in Your direction. Draw us closer as we seek Jesus together. Help us keep Him in the center. Amen.
