When you submit a prayer request, it is shared with a small group of church volunteers -- real people like you and me. This group (known as the Intercessory Prayer Group) will then, with thoughtful, heart-felt intent, embrace that prayer request and take it to God in prayer. We invite you to take advantage of the Prayer Book in the Narthex; your request will be lifted up during worship today. The Prayer Request Card in the pew in front of you is another tool. Fill it out as completely as possible and place it in the offering plate as it passes. We will be praying for you! ** Be sure to indicate if your request is to remain private. Don t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
