LRCA Gatekeepers

LRCA Gatekeepers is a grade-specific prayer group that meets throughout the school year for the purpose of covering our children, by name, in prayer. We spend the meetings writing Scripture (the Scripture is provided) on each child's notecard. Every student from PreK3 - 6th grade has a notecard with his/her name written on it. Every student in 7th - 12th grade will have a prayer note taped to their locker. We conclude the meetings by naming each student aloud and covering them with prayer. No need to pray unless you feel comfortable.

At the end of the year, the cards for PreK3-6th grade will be distributed to the students as a special keepsake of all the prayers that have been prayed over them during the year.

Everyone is welcome to participate!
