Prayer Ministry

• Wednesday Evening Prayer Service

  A Most Important Hour in the Life of First Presbyterian Church.

  “What will a man give in exchange for his life” the Bible asks? Let's change this just a bit and ask instead, “What will a First Presbyterian Church member give of themselves in exchange for an outpouring for God’s blessing?”

  Each Wednesday evening a small but dedicated group of members gather in the Prayer Room (Sanctuary Building next to the elevator) to pray for the ministry of First Presbyterian Church.

  We pray for the pastors and staff, our outreach near and far and for the lost of the community and world. We are asking God to fill our sanctuary with Christ-lovers, hungry for TRUTH and a freshness of God’s Holy Spirit.

  Most of us know what Matthew 18:20 promises;  "when two or three gather in Jesus’ name and ask according to His will, God will answer."

  We believe that there is great strength in numbers as well. I would not even presume to ask you to pray about attending but rather ask, “Will you sacrifice an hour each week to pray to the Lord of the harvest together for an outpouring of His grace, mercy and abundant blessings upon our great church? We need every one of you.

  We gather at 6:00 p.m. in the Old Library which is now the Prayer Room. Enter via elevator on 7th street. Get off at the sanctuary level and the Prayer Room is immediately to the right. Contact: Dr. Dick Gates dick@fpcbr.org
   

• Standing in the Gap Monthly Praise and Worship

  This is a perfect way to step up the prayer power in our church. But there’s no reason that has to be boring!  The third Wednesday evening of each month we’ll feature worship music, guided times of prayer and praise, and a focus on seeking God for our city and world.  Join us in the Sanctuary at 6:00 PM. Baby sitting will be provided. Please check our church calendar for the next Standing in the Gap service.

• "For Prayer" List

  We love to pray for each other and for those dear to us. Each Friday, a list of names is compiled of people we feel called to pray for. If you would like to add you or a loved one to the prayer list, please contact Vicki Lindrew at 387-0617 or vicki@fpcbr.org. Be sure to give her your email address as the week's list is distributed via email or a hard copy can be picked up at the church's Connection Center in the Sanctuary Building.

• After Service Prayer

  After each Sunday's 9:00 am service, an intimate gathering of folks gather in the Sanctuary Prayer Room next to the elevator for prayer time.  All are welcome to join us as we pray for whatever is weighing on your heart.  Dick and Judie Gates would be glad to have you.
