City-Wide Prayer Gathering at Park Street Church | FRI, DEC 3 | 7:00–9:00 pm

We know that the prayer of a single righteous person has great power as it is working (James 5:16). We also know that when two or three saints gather in prayer, Jesus is with us (Matthew 18:19-20). What might God do then if many churches gathered together to pray?

    On DEC 3 from 7:00-9:00 pm, churches from across the Greater Boston area will be gathering at Park Street Church to worship our King and to pray together for the things God will lay on our hearts for our city. We would love for you to join us for this in-person event. #ChurchesPrayingTogether

    Confirmed Churches: Abundant Grace, Antioch Community Church, City Church, Congregacion Leon de Juda, Cornerstone Church, Deliverance Temple Worship Center, Life Church, Newton Covenant Church, Park Street Church and Symphony Church

    Sunday Night Band Music Video Release
