As we look for opportunities to serve our church body, our community, our nation and our world, the greatest FORCE for change is daily committed prayer.
The purpose of the CALVARY CHAPEL PRAYER FORCE is to commit to specific prayer to bring specific answers.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. Eph.6:18
*************************
Each day we add a family from our congregation for you to remember in prayer.

He will rejoice over you with singing.
