Praying Together in UCC

But does God want us to just get back to normal and what is normal anyway? God wants his people to spend time with him so He can pour out a blessing. He wants us to realize that it is time to pray like we have never prayed before.

The call to pray was on many hearts and because of this, the Upper Columbia Conference has launched a prayer ministry page on its website. The purpose of this prayer ministry is to pray together!

“In these uncertain times, God is asking for us to grow closer to Him,” says Minner Labrador Jr., president of Upper Columbia Conference. “Now is the time to make the effort personally, to bring your family closer, and to work to bring one more to Him. Prayer is the key!”

On the prayer ministry page, there is someone available to pray for you. You can ask someone to call you to pray with you, and you will find a weekly prayer time — Monday evenings at 7 p.m. — where you can share your requests and have a group praying with you. Eric Brown, UCC ministerial director will begin leading out in this online prayer meeting.

Please remember that through any crisis, we are not alone! We have a loving heavenly Father who watches over us. During this time in earth’s history, we need to cling to Jesus and spend much time in prayer. It is our prayer that this ministry will be a support to you and your neighbors.

As interest grows in this prayer ministry, we will need more volunteers to pray with people. If you would like to be a prayer partner, please let your pastor know. As we need more volunteers, we will be checking with our pastors to help us fill this need.
