24 Hours of Prayer
The 29th is our Day! We cover the entire day (12:00am - 11:59pm) in prayer for our community and church family.
We are a praying church and would gladly pray for you.
The City Church
We are a part of the larger church in Eugene/Springfield and Lane County! There are 40+ other churches who pray on the other days of the month. Since May 2015 our community has been prayed for continuously (24/7/365)... and we have seen answers to our prayers!

Adoration
Adoration means worship! Praise the Father for who He is and what He has done!
Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.
Psalm 31:23
Confession
Confession means agreeing with God about your sin. Express sorrow and ask for forgiveness for anything that is opposed to His goodness.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
1 John 1:9-10
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving means expressing gratitude to God.
I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.
Psalm 69:30
Intercession
Intercession means lifting up our needs to the Father.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Vanquishing The Enemy
Vanquishing the enemy means recognizing that we are not wrestling against other people, but God has an enemy who works against His will.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:10-12
Extreme Prayers
Extreme Prayers are the ones prayed in Jesus' Name that He promised to do. These are specifically about His Kingdom advancing in and through His people.
And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
John 14:13-14
