Nothing is more important for the church and her people than prayer.
Jesus said, in Matthew 7:7
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
Philippians 4:6,7 tells us to
“Be anxious for nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus.”
Then, the apostle Paul writes in I Timothy
2:1,2 as follows:
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet
and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.”
The pastors and other members take seriously the privilege and
obligation to pray. We have prayer chains that go in to action
whenever a need is made known. We have men’s prayer every
Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.
at our church home (308 S. 5th St.). And we conduct a mid-week
prayer service every
Wednesday night at 8:15 p.m.,
also at our church home. You are welcome to join us for prayer and
to share with us the needs and concerns you are facing so that we
may bring them before our loving and all-powerful God!
More
things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Tennyson
I
thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer
of mine making request for you all with joy. Philippians 1:3,4
