| 10 Days North Shore is a collaborative effort among over 20 local congregations and ministries. It is our desire to see Jesus’ get the answer to His prayer in John 17:23, “Let them be one, as we are one so that the world may know that You sent me and have loved them as You have loved me.” |

|
Before the first Pentecost, a small group of Jesus’ followers who were witnesses of His resurrection gathered together for 10 Days, waiting for the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit. As they waited, “they devoted themselves with one mind to prayer…” At the end of that time, God poured out His Spirit and the Church was born. |

|
Like the first Christians, we are witnesses to the resurrection of Christ. Like them, we desperately need an outpouring of His grace. God’s word to us is simple: “If we ask, we will receive; if we seek, we will find; and if we knock, the door will be opened.” 10 Days North Shore is a time to set ourselves apart to Ask, Seek, and Knock. |

| Our entire lives are designed to be worship to God—however, there are special times when we take a break from the normal rhythms of life in order to prioritize worship, prayer, fellowship, communion, and the word of God. | |
|
Our goal in hosting this gathering together is that believers on the North Shore might experience the love and power of God and be transformed into His image and likeness. We know that if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us and that once He touches us, we will never be the same. |
