Praying Together

Prayer is our priority. Calling on God for His guidance and presence is our greatest work. We meet with God with our praises and petitions in the following ways:

Pray for one another: The whole church prays for one family on a particular day during the year. A roster is prepared every month and distributed to all members. A letter informs the one prayed for that the church family would be praying for them on that day and that if they have any special requests they could call the office. If you wish to be included on me roster please email us.

The circle of prayer: Every member is urged to commit one hour in prayer on a particular day during the week. The special emphasis is me prayer is to plead with God for him to guide us in our building plans, the ministries of the church and any other special requests and needs that are of an urgent nature. There are still some slots open on certain days. Volunteers are needed to be intercessors in me 24/7 circle of prayer.

Open requests for prayer: A prayer book is placed in the foyer and anyone with a special request for prayer can write their names and they are mentioned and prayed for during the main divine service prayer, and members are requested to remember these petitions in their personal prayers during the week.

Silent requests: Envelopes and cards are kept in the foyer for those who have special private/personal petitions. Individuals write their requests, weal them in envelopes and drop them in the Prayer Box. All these requests are remembered in prayer during the divine service and all those in attendance on Sabbaths are requested to pray for those sealed requests in their personal prayers.

Mothers' prayer group: The mothers prayer group meets every Sabbath at 5:00 p.m. in the church. Mothers who wish to pray for their children or loved ones are invited to join in me hour of prayer.

Fasting and praying: Every first Sabbath of the month is devoted to fasting and praying. Intercessors along with those with special urgent petitions meet after divine service and pray until 5 or 6 in the evening. At present, due to our great need for God's guidance and presence on our building plans, me prayer session focuses on the needs and challenges with regard to our building program. We also call for special, all-night prayer sessions as and when the need arises.

Individual prayer requests: Anyone can call the church office and request the pastors, elders and personal ministries leaders to visit and pray with them personally.

Anointing prayer: We believe that anointing with oil and praying is commanded in the Bible. When requested, pastors and elders set up a special time with the individual/family and have a special anointing service. We have experienced the mighty working of God in me ministry. We wish to preserve and practice me lost rite and believe that it should be a last rite.
