The Prayer Network
The Prayer Network is a group of dedicated Christians who receive a confidential prayer list each weekend and take the needs of those on the list to God in prayer every day. We pray for church members and friends. Anyone may add a request to the list using a name, an initial or just the need (such as "healing for someone with cancer").
Please call or email Rev. John Illian with prayer requests.
