To pray for our members, families and community and to actively encourage prayer within the life of the church. By being open to the working of the Holy Spirit, we pray that God's love, guidance and power would be released for the benefit of His people and to His glory.
New Location: The Prayer Chapel has been moved to the Church Offices area below the Chapel. To ensure a quiet prayer experience for all three service times, we have moved the prayer room to Pastor Joe Peabody's office. You are invited to come in during any service to pray individually or with the Prayer Minister and/or receive Holy Communion.
Prayer Ministers: From within our congregation, we have people who have been called to intercessory prayer. Every prayer minister has taken training in Intercessory Prayer and has pledged to serve in the Prayer Chapel on Sunday mornings during worship services. They pray over past prayer requests and new prayer needs collected during each service. Part of their time may be centered on each part of the worship service - the message, the music, those who speak and those who hear and for the life and needs of the church.The Prayer minister in the Prayer Chapel is always ready to pray with you or to be in a spirit of prayer as you pray quietly by yourself or with another. They are prepared to serve Communion every Sunday that it is not offered in the sanctuary should you want to receive communion.

For the Human Family
O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us, through Jesus your Son:
Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For Peace
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love:
So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and forever. Amen.
