Prayer Ministry
Prayer Chain
A group of people who have pledged to pray for specific requests
confidentially. The chain of people offers the opportunity for one
to pray, then to call the next person to do the same.
Prayer Group
Everyone is invited to come and join in prayer for the needs of the
Church, locally, regionally and globally. We meet at 8:00-8:20 a.m. on
Wednesday mornings at the church.
"Again,
I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask
for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or
three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Mathew 18:19-20
24 Hour Prayer Vigil
Each Holy Week we host a 24 hour prayer vigil at the church building.
Each participant is asked to pray at the church for 30 minutes. For
those who participate, this is a unique opportunity to spend quality
quiet time with our Lord Jesus Christ without interruption. Prayerfully
consider joining us next Maundy Thursday (the Thursday before Easter).
Prayer Shawls
Shawls ... made for centuries are universal and embracing, symbolic of
an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God. They wrap, enfold, comfort,
cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter and beautify.

Shawls are initially donated to those in need of prayerful
support within our own congregation & in time to a larger extended
community family based on supply & need.
These very basic shawls may be knitted or crocheted. Basic
knitting and/or crocheting skills are helpful, but the group is willing
to teach volunteers. Volunteers may bring yarn that they wish to donate
to make a shawl, but we also have donated yarn to use. Yarn should be
soft, preferably machine washable. Knitted shawls require 555 yards
& crocheted shawls require 740 yards of yarn. Knitting needles
(sized 11 - 15) would be helpful, but we do have a few sets to loan if
needed.
For those not interested in knitting, but would like to support the ministry, donations of yarn would be gratefully accepted.
We meet the 3rd Saturday of each month at FCC
Bremerton from noon to 3:00 p.m. For additional
information, contact us at 360-373-2444.
