MOMS IN PRAYER

God is working miracles in our kids’ lives, in our schools and in us. His power is unleashed through our prayers! —Sally Burke, Moms in Prayer International President

INNER HEALING PRAYER

God is our hope and healer. All of us experience difficult times in our lives. Hurts from the past and present wounds can prevent individuals from living from their God-given identity in Christ. The Inner Healing Ministry seeks to help people receive healing from hurts, emotional pain, and inner bondage. Our team works to guide people into freedom, enabling them to live out their God- given destinies. You can schedule an appointment with the Inner Healing Ministry Team, consisting of lay leaders who have received training on inner healing.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, please email Pastor Tracey.

REQUEST A PRAYER SHAWL

First Church has a ministry of dedicated women who knit prayer shawls each week. The shawls are a reminder that someone prayed over you while she was knitting the shawl and continue to pray for you in your time of need. To request a prayer shawl, call the church office at 269.983.1524 or email Pastor Tracey.
