Our vision is to make White Plains United Methodist Church a "House
of Prayer" by using a three pronged approach of education,
prayer for our Pastors and ministries, and prayer for our community,
the nation, and the world.
Watch the bulletin for classes on prayer and opportunities
for prayer conferences in the area. The Prayer Coordinator can recommend
studies on prayer for Sunday School classes and small groups. All
of the prayer groups are open to everyone regardless of experience.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about prayer.
Ephesians 6:12 says, "For our struggle is not against
the flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Our Pastors are on
the front lines of this spiritual warfare and we need to continually
pray for them. There are several opportunities to do this.
A group is praying with the pastors before the 8: 20 worship service.
Come join us every Sunday, or whenever you can, at 8: 00 am in the
Prayer Room. You can contact Jane Harrod at 783- 6507 with any questions.
Another group prays for our pastors as they share God's Word on
Sunday mornings. This is a once a month commitment. This intercession
is essential for the fullness of God's power to be released. If
you are interested in joining the Sunday morning prayer team, contact
Mark Brown at 465-4401.
Receive a list of prayer concerns from the church and pray
at home for our church. Contact Lorrinda
Janik at 467-9394 for more information.
On the second Sunday of each month, from 5 - 6 PM, all prayer
ministry team members meet to pray for our church and community.
All church members are welcome to attend! This is a wonderful place
to come if you feel led to be part of the prayer ministry and are
seeking God's direction. Contact Jane Harrod at 783-6507 for more
information.
You are invited to become a Silent Prayer Partner for our
youth. You will be assigned a youth for whom you will pray on a
daily basis. The youth will not know who you are until their senior
banquet. If you are interested in participating as either a member
of the organizational committee or as a prayer partner, please contact
Dot Rosenbaum at 677-6112.
Sign up to pray for our children age 3 through 5th grade.
This program is called Prayer Pals. There are many ways you can
help with this new program. For example, you can be assigned to
pray for a specific child and/ or sign up to pray for the prayer
concerns of the children. Eventually, we hope to be able to pray
for all of the children at White Plains from birth to graduation.
If you are interested in participating in this ministry, please
contact Carol Carawon
at 467- 9394.
MITI is an interdenominational organization of mothers meeting
one hour each week to pray for their children and the schools they
attend. We use a simple 4-step prayer format to guide our prayer
time. Visit the MITI website at www.momsintouch.org,
or contact Melissa Edwards at 469-3554.
Join local laity from other local churches the first Friday
of the month to pray for the churches in Cary, our Pastors, and
our community. Contact Jane Harrod at 783-6507 for more information.
Pray Wake County is a newsletter published by the local Concerts
of Prayer. There is a copy in the Prayer Room in the Witness Prayer
guide or if you would like to receive the monthly copy by e-mail
contact Jane Harrod.
You are encouraged to participate in Prayer & Fasting
for the President by registering at http://www.renewalministries.com/prayer_president.asp.
You are encouraged to use the Prayer Room to pray for any
of these topics or any other topics that you have on your heart.
There are prayer guides available for ministry areas of the church,
for our staff and specific needs of our church and community. The
Prayer Room is located in front of the Chapel in the administrative
wing.
