Prayer & Encouragement Ministry Team

The Prayer & Encouragement Team is made up of Christians who believe that God has given them the gifts of faith, exhortation, and showing mercy.  These gifts can be demonstrated in a variety of ways within the context of our overall church ministry.

"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

always in every prayer of mine making

request for you with all joy."  Philippians 1:3-4

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

  • Prayer Chain

    Our Prayer Chain is made up of  volunteers who are committed to pray for requests submitted to the team leadership.  When notified, Prayer Captains pass along requests to group leaders who then pass them along to  faithful members who pray.

  • Prayer Events

    Our church family comes together for both annual and special prayer events such as the National Day of Prayer (the first Thursday of May), prayer for Vacation Bible School, revivals, missions, and special services.

  • Sending Cards

    Some members are faithfully involved in the ministry of sending cards to encourage others and welcome our first-time guests.

  • Flower Ministry

    Sending flowers to families that have experienced the loss of a loved one is another ministry of encouragement.  The team also makes certain that those who are hospitalized receive flowers to make their stay a little more pleasant.

  • Visitation

    Visiting those who reside in long-term care facilities or are hospitalized or home-bound is another way this team encourages others.

  • Meals

    Preparing and delivering meals to families who have experienced the loss of a family member or are unable to prepare a meal themselves is a great way to show the love of Christ to those who are hurting.
