Prayer Group -- Come Join Us!
We live in a day where prayer is more needed than ever before. We need prayers for the UMC, Our congregation, and we need to be praying for others. This is what we do in our Thursday morning prayer group. We share our lives with each other and prayer for all the needs that are lifted. Our prayer group provides a unique space for usto connect, support, and intercede for one another. It strengthens faith by reminding participants that they are not alone in their struggles or joys, creating a sense of spiritual community and accountability. Praying together allows individuals to lift burdens beyond their own, experience God’s guidance collectively, and witness the power of unified faith. Beyond personal growth, a prayer group fosters empathy, encouragement, and a deeper reliance on God, making it an essential part of a vibrant spiritual life. So please plan on joining us on Thursday mornings at 11:00am in the church library for a time of conversation and prayer.
