Join us over the next 21 days as we intentionally seek God in prayer and believe Him to do amazing things in 2026.
We will partner with our friends at Chruch of the Highlands for resources and corporate prayer times. You can click here to go to their website for some fantastic resources.
If you've never fasted, this is an excellent opportunity to deny yourself of a worldly pleasure to help you focus on God. Some will fast food (or types of food), some will fast during a timeframe, and some will fast things like social media or sweets. Do whatever God leads you to do. It's not about what you give up but that you sacrifice something.

21 Days of Prayer & Fasting: January 4-24, 2026
This Series, God of Second Chances, looks at stories in the Bible in which God gives people second chances, and it invites us to reflect on God's mercy, patience, and loving character.
We are not bound to the decisions we make out of fear. God restores us no matter what we have done. We must be willing to turn back and trust Him.
Jesus's willingness to restore Peter speaks to God's long-suffering nature. We sometimes must be reminded that God never stops loving us, even when we fail to love Him fully. We forget that we aren't capable of loving as God does, and as a result, we live as our version of God's love and God's actual love are the same thing. Peter's story reminds us that God's love for us is limitless, without end. He can and will restore all who trust that love to be enough.
Let's Ride!!...
January 11th is the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are new to Open Road Fellowship, that's when we jump on our bikes and head out as a group right after church for a nice ride. It's an opportunity for us to grab some good food and enjoy some fellowship as we take some time to get to know one another. The direction we head is always an adventure but geared to provide a relaxing time out on the bikes. Invite your friends; maybe a nice ride might be what motivates them to come to church. Hey, and if you don't ride, don't let that stop you from enjoying the day...just hop in your car and follow along.
North, south, east, or west... no matter where we head, you are sure to enjoy the ride. So, come join us for our next 2nd Sunday ride!
Do you struggle with __________? You fill in the blank. Yes, Jesus is the answer, but do you need help figuring out how to make that happen? You've heard it said... You can't go toward your future until you settle your past, but do you believe it? The only way we will begin to change is to bring people into our lives that love us, and that want to see us succeed. We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. PitStops have one simple purpose: to bring people together. God created us to live in community with others, and it is only then that we can experience the full life He intends for us.PitStops meet once a week in locations all around our area. We believe there is a group out there for you!
We are looking for Pitstop hosts and/or Pitstop leaders. If you are interested, contact Raymond, at raymond@openroadfellowship.com. We will meet Saturday, January 10th at the On The Road Coffee if you might have an interest and would like more informaiton.

In February our Association churches will come together once again for our 11th annual CALL TO PRAYER. Our host this year is Trinity Heights Baptist Church. Each year hundreds of Southern Baptists have come together to join their voices and hearts in crying out to God for a fresh work in our lives and our churches.
There seems to be new local, national or world crises every month and uncertainty and confusion follows right behind. We know that the Good Shepherd of Psalm 23 is still in control in spite of the wars and rumors of wars on every front. Our major cities are in turmoil with every vice you can think of on display on a daily basis. People are hurting everywhere, and clearly we need an EVENING OF PRAYER.
Throughout the evening the combined choirs from Trinity Heights, Gospel Light & FBC Blanchard will lead us in worship. Our pastors will be reading Scripture and leading us in corporate prayer. Don’t miss a great evening of encouragement, praise and prayer.
