6 SIGN UP TODAY!!! Here is a simple ministry opportunity that anyone can do. We ask you to consider joining us in this important call to prayer. We are initiating a plan of daily organized prayer for our church, our pastor, and our church leaders -- and prayer during each Sunday morning service throughout the 2009 year. Please do not feel you need to be a professional prayer. We would like to have two people praying in the prayer room during each Sunday morning service. You can pray quietly aloud OR silently, and we will provide a list of things to pray for. This will be organized on a rotational basis. The more people who sign up, the less frequently each person will need to take a turn. For the other prayer ministry initiative, we are setting up a schedule and would ask you to pray on a specific day for our church, our pastor, and the church leaders. You may do this from the comfort of your home, unless you would prefer to use the prayer room at the church. Again, this will be organized on a rotational basis so the frequency will depend on how many volunteer pray-ers sign up. Yes! Please sign me up for praying during the Sunday morning service on a rotational basis. Yes! Please sign me up for praying for the church on a rotational basis. Please add my name to the Prayer Chain.
