Prayer Chain

Updated: 01/23/2012 8:13 AM

The Trinity Prayer Chain has been updated. There are currently twenty four families involved with this project—Praise God!

If you have a prayer request for the Prayer Chain, please call any of the families on the following list and give them the information. The prayer can start with any of the names listed. The Prayer Chain will operate using the guidelines listed below.

If you would like to be part of the Prayer Chain, please contact the church office.

PRAYER CHAIN DIRECTIONS

Incoming prayer requests:

• Prayer requests may come from any source, and may start at any place on the prayer wheel. If the prayer is

starting with you, make sure the person for whom we are praying is aware that they are being prayed for and permits this to go forward.

• Include only the specific information you want communicated.

When receiving a message:

• Write down the message.

• Immediately call the next person clockwise of your name on the wheel. If no answer, go to the next name until someone answers. (You may go back later to inform those not answering, but this is not required. Use mature Christian judgment on this.)

• Pass on the exact information given to you.

• Don’t distort or speculate on the information.

• Don’t gossip about the prayer request during the call – or any other time.

After you have passed the prayer message along:

• Pray concerning the request.

• Don’t leave your phone until you have prayed, so that you don’t become involved in other things before you pray.

• Pray God’s will.

• Pray fervently—James 5:16b—you can be the instrument that moves the hand of God.

• Use Christian discretion to keep requests confidential.

Thank you!
