Living Word Lutheran Church in Prayer: One of our Core Values at Living Word is “People Praying Together.” Jesus promised His special presence when people get together to pray: “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” With that in mind we are offering a handful of ways to “get together” to pray . 1. Pray with the Elders after worship. God tells us in the book of James (5:14-15), “Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.” Our Living Word Elders (Troy Hansen, Kevin Welsh, Jason Miller and Brady Sharp) will be available after worship at the front of the sanctuary to pray with you. 2. Take home the prayer requests from Sunday worship. We’ve started printing off the prayer requests from Sunday worship, so you can take those home with you after worship and keep those requests in your prayers during the week. 3. Pray “together” at 11:09. As before, we can pray together even when we are not physically together by taking time to pray at the same time each day (11:09) wherever we are. (Inspired by Luke 11:9: “So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; Seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be opened to you”) 4. Ask our Prayer Force to pray. We have updated our Prayer Force prayer chain listing. Special prayer requests that come in during the week will be forwarded via email or text message or phone (you choose), so we can bring those requests to God together even when we are not physically together. If you didn’t have a chance to sign up to be part of the Prayer Force but would like to be, please talk to Pastor David (or text him at 320-220-1816)
