Our Twitter Prayerboard
Anyone can place a prayer request on our church prayer board at the back of the church.There are papers and pens available for anyone to write a prayer request and pin it on the board; you may do this anonymously or you may add your name. Then, once a month these prayers are taken down and gathered and each request is prayed for when we meet as a healing prayer group. People often come into church to spend a few quiet moments with God and they frequently write a prayer for the prayer board. We sometimes have a prayer written in a language with which none of us is familiar so then we just lift up the person who has written it in our prayers as God knows what they have written even if we do not know!
