Many First Presbyterian
members are becoming aware of a new emphasis
on prayer ministry. God seems to be calling
and equipping us to make prayer an essential
and extraordinary activity as Christ’s
disciples. Our Pastors and Session agree
that a spiritual renewal of prayer and
the study thereof presently flourish in
our congregation. To support and accomplish
that which the Holy Spirit encourages
in our hearts, an oversight team serving
under the auspices of the Congregational
Care Committee is developing a prayer
ministry in the following areas:
| 1. |
A Prayer Room for intercessors
to pray for ongoing needs of our members
who have requested prayer, our staff,
and our missionaries; |
| 2. |
A team of intercessors who will
pray for every family of our congregation
at least once during the course of
a year; |
| 3. |
A regularly scheduled healing service
with trained prayer ministers who
will pray for those in need of healing;
and |
| 4. |
Neighborhood prayer groups. |
If you are interested in being a part
of the Prayer Ministry or would like more
information, please call George Moore
at 672-1755, or Tammy Burkhalter
at 672-0327. |
Prayer Room
Our Prayer Room (Room 310) is a beautiful place, blessed and set apart for prayer. Responding to the call of God, each intercessor on the Prayer Room Team spends one to two hours a week praying for our congregation, our staff and our missionaries. Each one has been trained and has taken a vow of confidentiality.
Prayer requests are taken by Prayer Request forms which are found in the literature and pew racks. The forms can be placed in the offering plate or the Prayer Request Boxes located throughout the church. Requests may also be called in to our 24-hour prayer line, 672-1838.
If a request is to be published on the Family Prayer Page in the Sunday bulletin and GrapeVine newsletter, please indicate this when you make your request. All published names will remain on the Family Prayer Page for two weeks. You may submit another request if you would like for it to be published again. After two weeks on the published list, long term prayer needs will be placed on the unpublished list in the Prayer Room.
Prayer Card Team
A Prayer Card Team was formed at the same time to intercede for every family in our congregation for one week during the year. A card is sent to notify you prior to the week that this team prays for your family. They have no specific knowledge of need or requests but will be praying for blessing and guidance for your family for that entire week.
If you sense a call to prayer and would like to pray for the families of our congregation in the privacy of your own home, please call the Congregational Care Office to see how you can be a part of this team (672-0327).

Healing Prayer Ministry
As was His custom, Jesus stood in the synagogue and read from the prophet Isaiah, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:18-19) Jesus declared that He fulfilled that prophecy. He came as our Healer Redeemer. There are forty-nine incidents of physical and emotional healing in the four gospels. Jesus commissioned and empowered His disciples and the church to continue His healing ministry.
Believing we have a need for forgiveness, physical healing, and inner healing, a time for concentrated healing prayer is being offered to our congregation, their families, and their friends every Tuesday at 7:00pm in Harper Chapel. Prayer Ministers who feel called into this ministry, who understand the necessity of confidentiality, who are engaged in a disciplined prayer life, and who have participated in the required training will lovingly intercede on your behalf. In response to the scripture, anointing with oil and laying on of hands will be available upon request. The desire of the Healing Prayer Ministry is that we may all be made whole through the power of the Holy Spirit and know the joy of abundant life our Savior promised.
Healing Prayer will be offered every Tuesday at 7:00pm in Harper Chapel.
If you are interested in being a part of the Prayer Ministry or would like more information, please call Stan Johnson at 235-0496, ext. 241, or Tammy Burkhalter at 235-0496, ext. 243. |
