Prayer Room
Lord,
make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is injury, let me bring pardon;
Where there is hatred, love.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not seek so much
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
--St.
Francis of Assisi

Prayer Mission
Weekly, a group of prayer warriors in our
church gather together to consider and pray for hundreds of
people and situations in absolute confidentiality and heartfelt
love. If you have a gift of prayer and would like to participate
in prayer meetings, contact the church office at (608) 588-2442
and ask how.
"The
Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will
never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not
be discouraged."
--Deut
31:8
If you have a heart for prayer and
you'd like to be added to our prayer chain, please let
the office know. Being on the prayer chain does not involve
you in making any phone calls. The only obligation is to
pray when you receive a call for a specific need. Contact
our church office for
more information or to make a request. You will not
be forgotten.
A Calling for Prayer
Does your job prevent you from being as
involved in church activities as you would like? Does your
health make attendance and participation often impossible?
GOD STILL HAS A PLACE AND WAY FOR YOU TO SERVE HIM!
I Thessalonians 5:25 says, "Pray
for us."
What an awesome opportunity He has given
us! Time after time each day, we can take moments to worship
God and lift others up in prayers.
