Thrive Summer Conference 2023

 

Awe & Wonder: A Conference on PrayeR

Saturday, July 8, 2023, 9am - 4:30pm • Hosted at Peninsula Christian Fellowship

Nothing is more glorious than prayer. In prayer the God of the universe hears, knows, meets, and changes us. But prayer is hard. It can be awesome and agonizing, painful and powerful, delightful and difficult, all at the same time.

Join us for this free, one-day, conference on prayer as we look at, learn, and practice the one greatest thing you can ever do. Featuring as speakers a variety of ministry leaders from local churches around the community, the conference is hosted by Thrive Harbor and is open to all ages.
