Ministries

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
I Thessalonians 5:16-18
“and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.
The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.”
James 5:16b

At St. Paul we believe in the power of prayer and take seriously Jesus’ example of constant prayer. Our prayer ministry is intended to help us grow individually and collectively in our prayer life. The Ministry team sponsors periodic prayer breakfasts, coordinates prayer vigils, and supports our prayer chains. We provide an opportunity to learn more about prayer and the life of prayer. We learn about different types, styles, and occasions of prayer. We encourage each person to grow in prayer and to develop a disciplined prayer life.

Our prayer chains receive and act upon requests for prayer, both public and confidential prayers. Each group and ministry at St. Paul is reminded to include prayer as part of every meeting agenda.
Our pastoral staff team members participate in public events as a witness to our belief in the power and efficacy of prayer. We are also quick to pray with individuals who express particular needs.
