Training Not Required: Books and tapes may be borrowed from the church or others in the group.
Need for More People: About six are involved. Others welcome.

Prayer Warriors

Through prayer the Prayer Warriors seek to provide comfort, support, solace and the binding love of God. Our purpose is to fulfill all requests for members and their families who are in need of prayer.

Commitment: The prayer requests come almost daily- they are sent out to the Prayer Warriors by e-mail (and a few by phone) as soon as possible upon receiving them. The Prayer Warriors then put the prayers on their personal prayer list. Updates are requested on the person being prayed for and reported to the Prayer Warriors. All Prayer Warriors are asked to pray daily for those in need.
Need for More People: Two people now contact approximately 160 Prayer Warriors by e-mail and one person contacts 5 by phone. All are welcome.
