Prayer Tree Chain Update
There was a question this last month: If you ask to be put on the Prayer Tree Chain for prayers do you get a phone call?
The answer is no. When you request to be put on the Prayer Tree Chain for prayers the Prayer Tree Chain Members are notified by phone, text or email (depending on which branch they signed up for) and you will be prayed for.
Reminder: If you want to request a prayer be placed on the Prayer Tree Chain please call one of the following Branch leaders and then that person will notify the rest of the Branch Leaders.
Church Office 319-235-7045
Mary Odekirk 319-233-7866
Kathy Jones 319-233-6109
Lori Heidt-Johnson 319-610-7361
Debra Grimson 319-269-6153
Please share: Who the prayer is for; What is happening and what is your prayer request; When is this happening; Where is this happening; and How Long you want the prayer to be on the Prayer Tree Chain. We hope that the Prayer Tree Chain has been a blessing to those of you who have already used it.
Secret Prayer Pals
Please remember to pray daily for your prayer pal and remember them with cards on special days such as their birthday and anniversary (if applicable).
If you want to send them holiday cards (or a small gift) that is optional but of course appreciated as everyone likes to get mail :)
The main thing is to remember and pray for your Secret Prayer Pal daily. We hope that you are feeling lifted up in prayer by your Secret Prayer Pal.
Core Value Statement: To be Christ centered, sharing love and healing, serving our congregation members in need, spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially.
