RELIGION NOTES | Pray Sunday, rejoice Wednesday at Island Church of Whidbey


October 26, 2012 · Updated 2:44 PM 

At The Island Church of Whidbey (formerly CMA) Sunday, Oct. 28, Pastor Dwight Ford will speak about “A Parable on Prayer” from Luke 11:5-13.

There are messages about prayer, books about prayer, and songs about prayer. What then, did Jesus say about prayer? In Luke 11, He simply says, “Keep at it; be persistent because God is never reluctant, but always eager to give.” Worship service is at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday, with family classes at 9:15 a.m. Childcare is available at all events.

The church will host a special event for all ages Wednesday, Oct. 31: The 21st annual Harvest Carnival, from 5 to 8 p.m. located at Sixth Street and Cascade Avenue in Langley. Enjoy games, candy and food.
