PRAYER MINISTRY
PRAYER MINISTRY
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
- James 5:13-15
The mission of the St. Paul's Prayer Ministry is to enrich the prayer lives of those in its Christian Community through educational, experiential and service opportunities; and to provide prayer support for individuals, church staff, and ministries.

Prayer Shawls
Prayer Shawls
Prayer is powerful! If you know of someone who is in need of prayers, consider giving them the gift of a prayer shawl. We have many beautiful shawls available in the church office – each one comes with a card and the best part is they are free to anyone! This is a great way to show your love, lift up someone in prayer, and to let someone feel God’s warm embrace around them. See the office for more information.

If you would like to become a part of our prayer shawl makers, the office has the instructions for those of you who may already know how to knit or crochet, and if you'd like to learn we could put a class together. We have yarn available at the church office that has been donated, as well.
