The team prays for the members, church, staff, services, etc.
We have had training in prayer and have planned church-wide activities
to accomplish our objectives. We have a prayer room which is located
just off of the sanctuary.
The prayer team meets monthly.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses, As we also have forgiven those who trespass
against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew 6:9-13
