As summer unfolds and routines shift, we want to stay anchored in what matters most. That’s why we’re inviting our church family to walk together through a shared Summer Prayer Guide — a daily rhythm of prayer that keeps us connected to God and each other.
Whether you're on the go, slowing down, or somewhere in between, this guide is a way to center your days in prayer and unity with your church family. Let’s pray together this summer — from wherever we are — and watch what God will do.
We have also developed a resource titled Simple Tips to an Intentional Prayer Life for you to avail of. This practical aid walks through the practice of prayer in an easy-to-follow way—helping you build consistency, focus your heart, and stay rooted in God’s presence each day.

We know that it can be so easy to miss out on attending church because of the inconveniences that arise as a student. In 2016 we realized that many of our students were seeking rides to and from MUN campus each Sunday, so we have been providing a bus to help students attend the 11 AM service ever since.
This is a free transportation service for students/families/individuals who live near or on Memorial Campus.
