United We Stand                               September 9, 2023
Come join us on Monday, September 11th, as we offer prayers of repentance for the two roots that man established 30 years ago (Oslo) and 45 years ago (Camp David). Just as our brothers and sisters in Oslo have the authority to do so in their city, we too, as American citizens, have the same authority in dealing with the wicked act perpetrated at Camp David.

Our guest speaker will be Gail Fiedler, founder of the (hidden) Camp David Prayer House. You will be excited to hear her story, too!

FInally, we acknowledge that this Monday also marks the anniversary of 9/11. Let's join hands and hearts to cry out against any other acts of terrorism now being planned against our people. Thank you! 

 
Our Conference Number is: 717-908-1834
Access code: 616137#
Time: 8:00 p.m. EDT
Date: Monday, 9/11

Our Weekly Call to Repentance

CHPP Welcomes You to Join Us Every Week in One Hour of Repentance

Sunday evening at 10:00 p.m. EDT
Dial 717-908-1983
Access Code: 9301470#


Dear Saints,

A lifestyle of REPENTANCE is so close to the heart of God.


Indeed, He commands us to  "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Matthew 3:2

How, then, can we approach His Throne of GRACE, in repentance?

We invite you to join us every week on Sunday evening, as we explore this vital topic together. We present a different prayer focus each week, leading us into repentance, so that we might approach His Throne of Grace in repentance, presenting ourselves to Him as a pure and a spotless Bride, without spot or wrinkle. (Ephesians 5:27)

Praying together, we desire to fulfill the mandate of Psalm 139:

" Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:24

 

You can join us, any Sunday evening, at 10:00 p.m. EST by calling:

717-908-1983
Access Code: 9301470#

WELCOME!

 

". . . and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
(2 Chronicles 7:14,15)
