  Prayer Chain


Prayer is a vital work of our church.

Scripture commands us to “Pray without ceasing” and reminds us that “the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”  It is both a privilege and a responsibility.

If you have a prayer need, or you have been contacted to pray for someone, listed below are the guidelines and telephone numbers to start the Prayer Chains.

Instructions

(1)

If the call is for someone other than yourself, be sure you have their permission first to begin the prayer chain process.

(2)

Secure the basic information, i.e. Name, Situation (surgery, accident, etc), Date of Situation if necessary.  Keep it simple!  We don’t need excess details.  These calls are not “gossip” sessions.

(3)

Contact the church office (8am to noon Monday through Friday) at 372-2089 or Loretta Jinkens at 372-5948 to start the Prayer Chains.

(4)

Each person should call the next one on the list.  If no one is home, leave a message and call the next name until you have passed the message on to a “real” person!  If there is no answering machine, go back and try to contact them later in the day.

(5)

The last person on each list should call the name at the top of her list to let them know the call has been completed.

You are appreciated very much for the time and effort you put into this prayer chain ministry.  Let us make a difference by our attitudes and actions.

“Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.”
