“Heaven is full of answers for which no one bothered to ask.”

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 & Healing Service

The laying on of hands and anointing the sick is an opportunity to have pastors and/or prayer ministers surround you with prayer. It is a ministry that Jesus instructed his disciples to go out and do. We continue that tradition through this service.

We hold a Prayer & Healing Service four times a year which is open to the public. Our next Prayer & Healing Service is:

Sunday, February 8, 2026 - 11:30 AM

If you would like to schedule a time individually to meet with a pastor and/or prayer ministers, you can contact the church office at prayer@splc.church or 763-498-8311.

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.

Shawl Makers

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.

KNIT A Prayer Shawl

Material needed: 3 to 3 1/2 skeins of yarn

Dimensions: Adult- 20" x 48", Baby- 36" x 36"

Needle Size: 11 or 13

Cast on stitches in multiples of three- 54, 57 or 60 (depending on your gauge).

First row: K3, P3 to end

Second and following rows: Start with the opposite stitch of what you see. For instance, if the first stitch on the needle is a knit, then start with a purl. Knit the purls and purl the knits- it should not look like ribbing. Note: If you cast on 57 stitches, you will always start with a K3.

Last row: Bind off at the desired length. Fringe is optional.

Last steps: Wash the shawl and bring it to the church office.
