Will you join us in praying for our Legacy families and the next generation of kids and families at Port City?
Legacy dedications provide our church with an opportunity to mark a moment where families decide to raise their children to know God and to celebrate their commitment to organizing their families’ lives around the pursuit of God together.
As a church, we have the opportunity and the responsiblity to invest in the next generation. A great place to start is through prayer. While you can pray for the next generation generally, we believe there is something uniquely powerful about praying specifically.
PRAYING FOR OUR LEGACY FAMILIES
Each week, we’ll highlight one of the families that participated in Legacy this semester. We invite you to join us in continuing to pray for these families as we move through the Fall.

We ask for prayers that as our kids grow up in this world, that they can resist the temptations that are so abundant and become lights for others so they may also seek God. We are so thankful for what the Church has already done and just ask for continued support in growing our girls in all the fruits of the spirit.
The Dickard Family
How can our church pray for you and encourage you as parents?
The church can pray that we use the tools and information we received in Legacy classes as well as Sunday services to help our two boys grow in a life with God. It can be easy to gather these resources and forget once we walk out on Sundays. Please pray that our communication turns into a lifestyle rather than something we have to think to do.

Having the church pray for us to prioritize God, Spouse, then children. At times it feels like we’re all jumbled up and focused so heavily on the children.
