Prayer Ministry

  Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart

in full assurance of faith.....       Hebrews 10:22

 

My House Shall be called a House of Prayer  Mathew 21:13

 

For thee we were made, O God, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee                      Augustine

 

Our prayers are hard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered .        O Chambers


 

Most important in the life of any church is a strong, Spirit led prayer ministry.  Realizing the power of prayer, a small group of faithful, dedicated members of this church come together each week to pray. 

We believe that in order to maintain a vibrant, compassionate church, dedicated to teaching, preaching, and living Jesus Christ, there must be an under girding of prayer for all aspects of the church.

Our Prayer Ministry Team has a printed agenda each week, which we supplement with devotional material.  We feel the presence of the Lord with us, and stand in awe of Him as we praise and thank Him for gracious answers to our prayers.

 

You are invited to share your prayer concerns with us.  Blue "Prayer Request" cards may be placed in the offering plates during worship, or in one of the two wooden boxes at entrances to the sanctuary.  If you include a telephone number on the card it is easier for us to make follow-up contacts.  You are welcome to call the church office (625-5023) at any time to make a prayer request.    We pray specifically for these concerns every Tuesday morning and through-out the week, and take care to keep in confidence the requests you bring to us.
