Prayer Ministry
Prayer is the foundation of our life in Christ and therefore our foundation as the body of Christ, his church. There are many opportunities to share in prayer, to learn about prayer, to be part of the prayer chain ministry, to teach prayer, to bless others with our prayers.
Intercessory Prayer
There are several groups that consider prayer the centerpiece of their activities. The Thursday morning Bible study group as well as the Adult Class on Sunday morning have intercessory prayer before they begin their study and at the end. Names of congregational members as well as family, friends and community members may be added to this list.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
We have a Prayer Shawl Ministry (See Prayer Shawl Ministry under Ministries) that blesses and prays for al who receive shawls.
Prayer Requests
There is a Prayer request box in the narthex on the table. Anyone at any time can put a request in the box and the pastors will include it in their prayers for worship or as appropriate. You may also select "Prayer Concerns" on this web-site and submit your prayer request to us.
St. James Prayer Chain
"Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." Ephesians 6:18
That is the theme verse for the St. James Prayer Chain. There currently are approximately twenty people in four telephone "chains". They send special prayers to our Lord when requested, and are available to anyone who feels the need for prayer.
Anyone is invited to become involved with this group. You would be added to a telephone chain, and when you receive a call, would be expected to devote time to pray for the person about whom you were called. If you would like to join the group, call Siena Feltus, 267-2242.
