Prayer Team Ministry
Jackie Bull and Sonia Spore lead our prayer ministry.  We offer a prayer chapel which is open throughout our worship services and whenever the church is open during the week. 
 
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
 
What is a prayer shawl?  Prayer shawls are knitted or crocheted.  As they are being made, we pray for whoever will receive the shawl.
 
Who should receive a prayer shawl?  Shawls can be given to someone suffering illness, going through difficult times, having a baby, buying a house, starting a new job, moving, or facing stress.  They can be given for any reason--even just to say you care.  They are for anyone of any age.  We even have special shawls for babies.
 
Where do I get a prayer shawl?  You can contact the leader of our prayer shawl ministry, Bev Shrum, and make arrangements to pick one up.
 
How can I help?  Our meetings start at 6:30pm and we fininsh about 8:30 pm.  We meet the 2nd and 4th Monday night of each month.  We would love to see new people.  We will be meeting in the prayer chapel. Bring a size K crochet hook or a set of #13 knitting needles.  Yarn is provided.  Of course, if you have yarn to donate, we will gladly accept it.  Contact Bev Shrum for more information.
 

We sent three prayer shawls to the United Methodist Women's Assembly in St. Louis, MO. They will display all the prayer shawls and distribute them after the event to mission institutions and persons in physical and/or spiritual need.

PRAYER CHAPEL

 

If you are looking for a quiet and restful place to enjoy time in prayer and solitude, then visit the Prayer Chapel in the front of our sanctuary. Take time to fill out the prayer journal or prayer request. Each prayer request placed in the prayer box is prayed for by name. It will remain in prayer for the duration of the year. In a world of noise and chaos, it is comforting to know that there is a place to find rest, peace, and time with God.

 

LITURGICAL DANCE MINISTRY

 

We all pray in different ways, whether it is through service, contemplation, or music. Dance is another way we can experience God's love and share His love with others. Liturgical dance is a form of prayer where music and movement combine to express our thoughts and needs to God. All ages are welcome. If you are interested in dancing for God, then come to our first meeting on Wednesday, September 16th at 7:30pm. in the sanctuary, or call Jackie  at 833-4520.

 

THE PRAYER TEAM

 

Prayer is not always easy, as it is learning to develop a love language with God. It is one of the most intimate relationships we will ever experience. If you have a desire to learn how to build this relationship, or help it grow, then please contact Jackie at 833-4520 for additional information and meeting times.
