In all our daily lives we need to "Pray without ceasing" as the Apostle Paul states in I Thessalonians Chapter 5 verse 17.

There is a time for everything in our lives and one thing we need to insure our spiritual growth by, is spending time with the Lord in prayer and meditating on His word daily.

All of us have a special need or request that we take to the Lord daily, and we must remember to pray for others as Prayer is a most powerful tool. And when we lift each other up to the Lord, it multiplies that power by many!

When you have your prayer time we have listed some requests below to be lifted up to the Lord daily. We trust that you will seek His face daily.

Our Prayer Service is every Wednesday Night at 7:00 PM. We invite you to come and join us as we lift up our requests and needs to our wonderful Lord and Saviour.

As we pray for these requests in our daily devotions, may we be reminded that God hears and answers prayers. Our God is a faithful God!

Monthly Devotional Books "Call To Glory" are available in the church lobby.

The Five Fingered Prayer

1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
