Prayer Request
We love to support our community by praying with and for you and your loved ones. Below is a summary of some of the variety of ways you can ask for prayers from us.
Prayer Chain - Whatever your prayer intention is, you can contact Pastor Carol through email or the office. She will forward the information to our prayer chain coordinator so your prayer request can be sent out to our Prayer Chain email group. Some intentions requested are prayers for stronger faith, health, etc. How long your intention is on the prayer chain depends on the request. Please be sure you have the person's permission to add them to this public list.
Prayer of the Faithful | Bulletin List - This is the list of names we keep in our weekly bulletin. Consider adding a name to this list if you or someone you know has a chronic illness or poor health. Call or email the office to add or remove a name. The names will remain indefinitely unless the person has passed away, recovered, or if a request is made to remove them. Again, it is best to have another person's permission before adding their name to this list.
Woman's Prayer Group - this group meets twice a month to pray for the needs of others.
Private Prayer - Meet with Pastor Carol by phone, email or in person at the Church office or in home. We will pray with you and all you have to do is receive.
