The prayer ministry of Faith Reformed Church invites you to engage in a daily life of prayer. It is our desire to stir up the hearts of the people of our congregation and community to prayer and a richer walk with the Lord. The bible tells us that we should “.. pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:16) and “…pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests … always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” (Ephesians 6:18) for “…The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)
Prayer Chain
A Faith Church Prayer Chain is organized that prayer concerns may be brought before the Lord by the congregation as a whole. Prayer concerns may be given to Nancy (contact information in the Church Directory) for inclusion in the Prayer Chain.
How to Pray
Christians often find it difficult to remain focused when praying or even how to begin. The suggestions above are very helpful specific needs to pray for. Martin Luther, the leading figure in the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, was a master of prayer. He wrote a book entitled A Simple Way to Pray which recommends using the Lord’s Prayer, the 10 Commandments and the Apostles’ Creed as a guide.
The following is a broadcast by R.C. Sproul found on renewingyourmind.org in which he explains the importance of prayer and gives practical advice, based on Luther, on how to pray and have a deeper communion with our Lord.

Faith Fellowship & Prayer Gathering
Every Sunday, at least 58 emails go out to our members and friends asking for any needed prayer requests and providing a link to the Zoom Room. Anyone can use the email to reply with a prayer request whether they attend the gathering or not.
Every Monday at 10 a.m., from 4-11 women meet in the Zoom Room – for a time of fellowship, reflection on the scripture and prayer. Some pray, some listen – all show a warm fellowship which is a blessing. Come pray with us.
