Teach Us to Pray
Over the last year, we have taken a number of very important steps to grow as a family rooted in prayer. God is blessing in each of these areas, and we want to grow even more in 2026. We will have a year-long prayer emphasis called Teach Us to Pray. We will roll out a number of experiences, opportunities and practical tools throughout the year. Each will be targeted to helping Redemption Hill Church and each of us within the church family to grow in our prayer lives.
We know God will bless us and draw us closer to himself as we grow in prayer, so we encourage you and your family to take full advantage of this season and “dive in” with us. Please be praying, even now, that God would truly Teach us to Pray in 2026 and that through this he would enrich our family, bless our lives and glorify his name at RHC.
