Sunday Intercessory Prayer Team
About
Those serving in this prayer ministry offer a safe space for parishioners to share heavy burdens they may carry to receive prayer and presence. It is not a place to offer advice or counsel, but solidarity and love.
What to expect
- Listening; to the person and the Holy Spirit for guidance on prayer
- Presence; being bodily, emotionally, and spiritually present in solidarity without words
- Prayer; when words or silence are needed, one intercedes with the Spirit of God
- Confidentiality; prayer needs stay between you and the person you (exceptions mentioned below)
