PRAYER VIGIL/EVENT TEAM
Participate in planning, promoting, and running various prayer vigils and/or events held throughout the year. Such events include the Easter and the Fall prayer vigils as well as prayer breakfasts, August kick-off dinner, and the Day of Work and Prayer.
PRAYER ROOM OUTREACH
The prayer room on the west side of the Sanctuary provides a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere away from your busy life where you may spend time with God and intercede for those needing prayer. Prayer guides, CD's, and other resources are available there.
Prayer requests come into the church every day and are placed on the desk in the Prayer Room so that we may pray for those prayer needs. You also may place your prayer request in the room for other intercessors to pray over. The room, which is open when the church building is open, is available for regularly scheduled prayer or you may come when you can. Call Beth Strickler in the church office to reserve a weekly prayer time.
