A Praying Congregation
Prayer Ministry’s Purpose: To encourage a passion for prayer within the congregational life and ministries of First Presbyterian so that the power of Christ’s love is made manifest in all we are and do! Below is a partial list of prayer opportunities within the life of First Presbyterian that will help you grow closer to Christ and to each other as a community of faith and hope, love and service. Help us expand that list!
For Jesus, daily prayer was as essential as breathing. Prayer enabled him to discern God’s will for his life and find comfort and support to overcome the spiritual apathy, hypocrisy and injustice of his day.
As the resurrected and living Christ, Jesus promised he will be with us in our own daily struggles. The Spirit he placed in our hearts calls us to turn to God in prayer, and find comfort and support, rest and peace.
As Lord and Savior, Jesus calls us to come before our loving and just God, in and through prayer, so we might be empowered for loving service to a hurting and broken world.
