You may have noticed during certain church services that the door to the bridal room is closed.  That's because since mid-November over 30 Prayer Warriors have participated in the weekly prayer room service.  We have volunteer warriors from our youth program, newer members, Sunday School classes, small groups and others who just want to experience the Power of Prayer Ministry.  That's exciting that they feel moved to show the love for the Lord and Union Church in this way.
 

We use the weekly church bulletin as a basis for the prayer room but more importantly we let our hearts determine where our prayers take us.  An important part is the Focus Family.  Five church families are contacted each week and their personal prayer requests are uplifted during the service.  Our goal is to reach every family within a year.  We have already prayed for over 70 families so far.  That doesn't mean that you have to wait until you are contacted.  There are prayer request forms available outside of the bridal/prayer room.  Simply fill one out and put it in the gold treasure chest.  These concerns are also prayed for during the weekly service.  If you leave an address also, we'd love to follow up with a Prayergram.  We are also exploring the possibility of a prayer request site on the church web page to make communications timely and easier.

Another goal  is to schedule our Prayer Warriors once every 3 months-- 4 times a year.  Couples, groups and individuals are encouraged to participate. That's asking for a smidgen of your time, talents and treasures and it couldn't be easier to volunteer.  Just talk to any Deacon, stop by the prayer room after church or sign up outside of the prayer room.  We'll do the scheduling when it's convenient for you. We would love to see everyone experience the Power of Prayer as we build stronger families and relationships within the church as individuals pray together.  Come join us as we organize a network of praying Christians who will become the ongoing prayer base for future spiritual strength and create a spirit of excitement as praying Christians begin seeing God answer prayers.
