All
of us at Powhatan Mennonite Church have the privilege of prayer and in a
sense are members of the Prayer Team. We will be calling on different
ones throughout the year as God calls us to certain tasks.
Current Activities:
Men at Prayer are
meeting each Saturday morning at 7:00. Prayer was emphasized during the month of
January with prayer meetings held throughout the week and Sunday morning scriptures
and messages relating to prayer. The congregation watched "The Prayers of
Jesus" DVD on Wednesday nights throughout the month of January and was
encouraged to pray for each family throughout the month by using a prayer guide
put together by Pres Nowlin. Wayne and Connie Lancaster are praying
daily for our Pastor and his family and for prayer requests shared on Sunday
mornings. Martha Bowles, Janet Habel, Peggy Leeth, and Dorcas
Schaefer are in our Prayer card ministry and are sending cards concerning Sunday
morning sharing and prayer requests. Debbie Vaughn and Poe Powell are helping
with the Prayer Chain. We are currently meeting every second and
fourth Wednesday night during March, April, and May to watch a DVD series
entitled "When God's People Pray," by Jim Cymbala. We have
three prayer groups following the DVD which include general prayer,
workplace/co-workers, and prodigal/restoration. We invite suggestions and
ideas on promoting prayer in our fellowship. What a blessing to pray to our
Father!
"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the
power and the glory,
The
victory and the majesty, for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours.
Yours
is the Kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from
You, and You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might: In Your hand
it is to make
great
and to give strength to all.
Now therefore, our God we thank you and praise
Your glorious name."
1 Chronicles 29: 11 -13
