Each week, members of the Kroc Center and Kroc Church submit a number of requests for prayer. We welcome these from everyone in our community, and encourage all our Kroc Krew to lift up these requests in your own way. Don’t forget that you are always welcome to attend devotions on Tuesday mornings at 9am in the Administration Foyer; if you have a prayer request to share, you can post it on the board in the lobby, use the online form, or contact a member of the Kroc Church team.

Growing in Faith – Mathew 14:22-32
In Matthew 14:22-32, we find Peter stepping out of the boat to walk on water toward Jesus. His faith wavered when he focused on the storm, but Jesus was there to lift him up. This story reminds us that faith grows when we step out, even in uncertainty, trusting Jesus to steady us.
As we navigate the storms of life, let’s fix our eyes on Christ. Whether you are taking small steps or bold leaps of faith, know that God is with you. When doubt creeps in, remember His hand is always outstretched, ready to guide and sustain you.
This week, I challenge you to take one step of faith. It could be reaching out to someone in need, praying boldly for a breakthrough, or simply trusting God in a difficult situation. Let’s continue growing together as a church, stepping forward with courage and trust in our faithful Savior.
Here are some of the upcoming events and groups at the Kroc Center:
