So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help.
Hebrews 4:16 (cev)
God loves it when we talk to Him. When we pray, He delights to listen and answer (and He always answers).
Beginning on Sunday, July 21, we will have a new opportunity to do this during worship on Communion Sundays.
At the back of the sanctuary (beyond where we circle for Communion), we will have a couple of “pray-ers” available to listen and pray with anyone who desires.
What we are envisioning is that people will be able to approach these pray-ers before, during, or immediately following Communion. We are looking to have a male and female available to ensure variety should someone be more comfortable with a specific gender. This will be a time to not only request prayer, but to have someone pray with you.
Oh, and we are looking for folks who would like to be the “pray-ers” in worship. The qualifications:
- Be comfortable listening to and praying with/for others and their needs.
- Understand and respect the utmost level of confidentiality for all people and prayers. What is said and prayed for during these times stays there, unless specifically requested to be shared by those requesting prayers.
- Be faithful to cover the worship days you are scheduled for.
If you would like to join this important ministry or have questions, please contact Carolyn at Prayers@LifeBridgeSealy.com.
We know not everyone may be comfortable approaching someone during this time in worship for prayer, but this will allow an additional opportunity for those who desire it.
Come, let us approach the Lord in prayer!
