We believe that God sustains and grows us through prayer.
For that reason, our church and its ministries
 are bathed in prayer every day of the week.
 Here are a few other prayer opportunities:

Individual Prayer is available on Sundays after the worship services. Look for a Prayer Team member, wearing a blue name tag,  in the corner of the Meetinghouse (by the steeple entrance). Prayer with individual members or with pastors may be requested at any time. Contact any pastor or staff member at First Church to make a connection.

If would like have your request remain confidential (only sent to members of the prayer chain,

All prayer requests are posted immediately and sent out daily via e-mail.

Urgent Prayer Requests

Blue Prayer Sheets, 
which may be found by the Meetinghouse, WIND, Main Street entrances and in the Caring Concerns Room, are compiled from the non-confidential prayer requests received during the week.
 These are available for the entire congregration to pick-up on Sundays.

Healing Prayer
Call Tessa to make an appointment to pray with the Healing Prayer Team.

Weekly Prayer Plan is a guide to praying for the First Church staff, lay leadership, ministries and missions in the course of a week. If interested in praying for the church, please contact Tessa.

Prayer Wall The prayers on the Prayer Wall are routinely prayed for and remain current for four weeks. They will be removed from the prayer list after that period, unless you give us an update.

Men's Prayer Breakfast This group has met for over twenty years! Men of all ages are welcome to join in this time of fellowship, prayer and discussion—and a hearty breakfast—on Saturday mornings, 7:30, in the 
Fireside Room.


The Power of Prayer
is awesome!
If you'd like to join the prayer team or you'd like some more information,
please contact Tessa.
