We are continuing our series on prayer using the pattern Jesus gave his disciples and us. This time we look at our need to pray for forgiveness as we have forgiven others. Come to Rockwell Church this Sunday to be encouraged to quickly seek forgiveness and keep forgiving others in our messy and imperfect lives. Join us Sunday at 10:15am at 93 Midway Drive in Virginia, MN. No need to dress up – just show up!
