Hi Phil:I appreciate your prayer information!Could you please let me know about "How to design a summer of outward focused praying for the whole congregation"?Thanx much! Have a Blessed Day!
Good to hear from you.
Glad to share some ideas:
- Prayerwalks - each SS class and fellowship/study group goes on site to pray
- Prayer Guides - each family/member receives a prayer guide with a daily focus on the community
- Prayer Card - distribute "30 Days to Prayer for Your City" (from NavPress)
- Pastoral Prayer - each Sunday a different congregation and community leader or issue is prayed for
- Prayer Stations - check local ordinances before setting-up a "Free Lemonade; Fee Prayer" station on the street or at a local fair
- Prayer Sign - invite the community to call or email the church with a prayer request
- Prayer Night - promote "Six Summer Sessions to Impact Our Community"
- Pastoral message (20 min) then 40 minutes of praying
- Prayerwalk at nearby schools: Teams dispatched to various campuses, pray, return for debrief (family event)
- Devotional (20 min) on praying for lost family and friends followed by 40 minutes of praying by name and need
- Prayerwalk at nearby parks: Teams dispatched to various parks, pray, return for debrief (family event)
- Devotional (20 min) on praying for issues (problems that hinder the Gospel and hurt families followed by 40 minutes of praying scripture promises of hope and peace
- An evening of prayer reports: What has God said, what has God done in these past 5 weeks ... Prayer for what he will say and do the next 5 months ...
