Prayer Walk of Gratitude

Take a step with us—literally and spiritually! Join our Walk of Gratitude as we lift up our community in prayer, one step at a time. Following coffee hour on Sunday, November 9th, we’ll stroll through town, pausing at local schools, public service buildings, and businesses to ask for God’s blessing, guidance, and protection over the people who make our community thrive.

This is more than just a walk—it’s a chance to connect with neighbors, reflect on our blessings, and actively care for our community. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful way to start your day, a meaningful way to serve, or simply some time outdoors, this prayerful stroll is for you.

If you’re interested in preparing a prayer to say aloud at one of the stops, please reach out to Nancy Mullen to receive your assigned location.

Get your steps in while making a difference!
Lift up our town in prayer!

Come walk with us and be part of something truly meaningful—weather permitting!
