PRAYER CHAINS AT FIRST LUTHERAN

“I also tell you this, if two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask for, My Father in heaven will do it for you” 

Matthew 18:19.

​

This is one of the most powerful promises in the Word of God. The prayer chains are not only two or more people praying together, but they are agreeing together. In their united concern, they come to God in prayer together asking and expecting results—and the promise is limitless! Who knows what great things God will do for us and through us when we take Him at His word as a prayer-answering God.

 

How the Prayer Chain works: The pastors should be contacted, if possible.

​

If you would like to become a participant in the phone tree ministry, please call the church office (927-2028) to be added to the email list for prayer concerns.

 

Teenagers or adults, male or female, are invited to participate in this ministry.
