We are excited to announce the relaunch of our Prayer Partners Ministry, an opportunity for us to come together as a community, supporting one another through the power of prayer. This ministry is a beautiful way to lift up those in need, showing them they are not alone in their struggles or joys.

 

What is the Prayer Partners Ministry?

The Prayer Partners Ministry is a group of parishioners who will gather once a month in person on the third Wednesday of the month at 9:15am to pray for those who have specifically asked for our prayers. In addition to praying together, we will also take time to write thoughtful and encouraging cards for these individuals, letting them know that our prayers are with them.

 

How It Works:

Monthly Gatherings: We will meet once a month to join in prayer for those who have submitted prayer requests. Each meeting will include time for communal prayer and individual reflection.

  • Writing Cards: During our gatherings, we will also write personal cards of encouragement, hope, and love for those we are praying for. These cards will be mailed to the individuals to remind them that they are being held in prayer by our parish community.
  • Building Connection: As Prayer Partners, we will not only be praying for others but also strengthening our own faith through the power of shared prayer and fellowship.

 

Who Can Join?

  • Everyone is welcome! Whether you are looking to deepen your own prayer life or simply want to help others by offering the gift of prayer, we invite you to be a part of this meaningful ministry.

 

Why Participate?

  • Strength in Prayer: Prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can support one another. Through our Prayer Partners Ministry, we can offer the gift of prayer to those who are struggling, sick, lonely, or in need of encouragement.
  • Acts of Love: Writing cards is a simple but impactful way to show our care and compassion. Knowing that someone is praying for them can provide comfort and hope to those who need it most.
  • Community Bond: These monthly gatherings offer a chance to connect with fellow parishioners in a meaningful way, strengthening our parish community through prayer and service.
