Two members of the Intercessory Prayer Group recently shared what this ministry has meant to them:
To me, the group almost feels therapeutic. It gives me a place to open up about things I wouldn’t normally talk about, and there is only support from the members—no judgment. The Gospel reading opens up different perspectives and leads to thoughtful, deep conversations driven by faith. It is also nice talking with others who share a love for God in a world full of different opinions and lifestyles. (J.W.)
The Intercessory Prayer Group, to me, is a group of believers who love the Lord and rely on following Jesus with His help. We pray together for others, and we ask one another for prayer when we need it. Over the weekend, I asked my group to pray for me during tense family times. Their prayers came in through our chat, and it gave me peace and thankfulness on Father’s Day. God heard the prayers—it was a joyful day! (M.K.)
Anyone who would like to join the Intercessory Prayer Group is welcome. The group meets monthly on Tuesdays at 5:15 PM via Zoom. If you would like more information, please contact John Karski at johnk@stol.church.
