Prayer and fasting are vital ways to connect with and deeply enjoy God. One of our church markers is to be a praying church so that we can abide more deeply with Jesus. To some, these spiritual disciplines may seem daunting or unfamiliar, but Scripture continually points us to prayer and fasting as important ways to get more of God in our lives. To that end, on Thursday, February 1, 2025, the Watermark family embarked on 21 days of prayer and fasting together. During those three weeks, members were able to experience prayer and fasting individually, in their community groups, and as a church body.
During the 21 days, we sent out daily text messages with simple prompts for our body to pray through.
Listen to the sermon series A Praying Church as Timothy Ateek walks through why and how we can pray as individuals, within our communities, and as a church body so we can be not just a church that prays, but a praying church.
Listen to the sermon series, A Spirit-Led Church, as Timothy Ateek explains the third person of the trinity—the Holy Spirit—and how we can interact with Him.
Watermark hosts weekly prayer services in our Chapel on Sundays at 5:30 PM. These prayer services are a simple way to experience God’s presence and demonstrate our dependence on God. Together as a church, we ask God to teach us, lead us, and move in our city. If you would like to pray with others or simply be prayed for, you are welcome to join us anytime.
To help our members make prayer a normal rhythm in their lives, we send out a weekly prayer newsletter. Each week, we collect prayer requests from our body and ask our members to pray for each other. Join thousands of Watermark Members in prayer by signing up to receive this newsletter.
Additionally, if you are interested in praying for and sending handwritten notes to individuals who submit prayer requests, please consider joining our Notes Team.
