The prayer chain is the life-blood of the congregation! Oftentimes, because this work is behind the scenes, the prayer chain is taken for granted and forgotten. It is not until you have some hurts or needs that you remember and are thankful for the prayer chain.
The prayer chain is the spiritual alarm system which communicates and takes prayerful action on the needs of the congregation, community and global needs. This network of people who are committed to prayer take action on behalf of the congregation on Jesus' words to "ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened." (Matthew 7:7) The importance of the prayer chain is that it faithfully intercedes on behalf ofothers in need by lifting up specific requests, concerns and emergency situations.
With give thanks to Bernice Westergreen who has a heart for prayer and organizes the prayer chain for Holy Trinity.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
