Prayer Request
Prayer can sometimes be a confusing subject. We believe that God is good in all things, and yet sometimes we have difficulty seeing how God is at work in the midst of life's most difficult moments. When we pray, we humbly seek the wisdom and strength so desperately needed to better understand the heart of God.

To protect privacy, requests passed to this team include only the first name or initials of the individual concerned and a brief description of the request.

Wesleyan Covenant Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
Let me be your servant,
under your command.
I am no longer my own,
but yours.
Put me to what you will,
rank me with whom you will;
put me to doing,
put me to suffering.
Let me be employed for you
or laid aside for you,
enabled for you
or brought low for you.
Let me be full,
let me be empty.
Let me have all things,
let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield
all things to your pleasure
and disposal.
