Thanks for taking part in this 24 solid hours of unbroken offering of praise, intercession, and surrender at CCF!! Each hour will be a time to seek God’s presence, lift our voices in worship, and contend in prayer for our lives, our families, our church, our city, and our world.

What to expect?: The Edge Building is at the end of the driveway circle next to the basketball court. When you arrive, you will receive brief guidelines and prayer requests to guide your time. Most hours will start with a time of worship. The space is designed so there is room for both quiet personal time with God and also for corporate prayer. Feel free to spend some time praying alone and part of the time in prayer with others. There will be a prayer leader there each hour leading corporate prayer. Our goal for each hour is to enter to throne room of the LORD and seek His face to pour out His Spirit on our church and region. Come and be part of what He wants to do through this time.
