Prayer Emphasis

Our church leadership has identified 5 strategic initiatives for our congregation. One of them addresses an emphasis on prayer across all ministries. In our long-range staff planning meetings we have been brainstorming ways in which our ministry can take part in this initiative. We have several ways to do this:

• Promote the monthly All-Church Prayer Meetings. This Thursday, March 15th, is the next meeting in the E building at 7 pm.
• Encourage our 6:30 prayer group on Wedesdays before rehearsal.
• Set aside a specific time--even if it's small--in each rehearsal to engage in various forms of prayer (quiet, corporate, guided, in small groups).
• Try to be better at following up with people who have made prayer requests. If anyone has a gift of encouragement and a heart for people, we could use someone who would take on this task of contacting people and finding out how they are doing.
