Prayer Petition - In these times of uncertainty and danger, Pastor Rich would like to include the names of those who are serving our country in the military and are in harm’s way in the prayers of the church each weekend. Please give or email the church office these names so that they can be included in the prayers.
Email Prayer Ministry - We would like to continue and expand our email prayer ministry here at church. Similar to a prayer chain, but, not really. This is how it works: When a prayer request comes in to the church, we would like to email it out to those that would have time to lift this person up in prayer. Many of you answer your emails while at work, so maybe this would be a problem for you. But...if you open an email with a prayer request and could spare just a few seconds, we know the person you are praying for would benefit from the connection you are making by praying for them. Even if all you can say at the moment would be "God please be with and comfort ..... at this time" until you have more opportunity. Here are a few guidelines that we came up with, and if you think of something we that didn't, please share it with us and maybe we can incorporate it in this ministry.
All prayer requests would come from the church office, with "Email Prayer Ministry" in the subject line.
All prayer requests would be short and to the point.
We would have permission from the person calling in the prayer request to share their request with this ministry.
Those who commit to this ministry should be those who check their email frequently.
You do not need to respond to an email you receive, your only response would be to PRAY.
You are not obligated to send this prayer request any further.
You are asked to pray however you feel in your heart you should pray - let the Spirit lead you.
When we can, we will send out a follow-up email to let you know how the person is doing.
Please let us know if your email address changes.
Only prayer requests that come in the office with the request of being included in the email prayer chain are included.
If you are already included in this ministry, no need to give us your email again. If you would like to join in, please use the information slip in your bulletin and let us know.
