Praying Always

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:18 NIV)

We need to pray for one another, brothers and sisters. We need to pray in the privacy of our personal prayer time, and we need to pray as a group everytime our church meets together. The group dynamic in prayer cannot be over-emphasized - it is all through scripture. One example is that of Peter, who was imprisoned for his Christianity. An angel came and broke him out of prison. You can read all about it in Acts 12. But the important verse for today's consideration is verse 12, where we find that after his prison break, he came to Mary's house, and found a group prayer meeting taking place! "... he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying." (Acts 12:12 NIV)

While every service at RCC is an opportunity for us to exercise our praying muscles, Wednesday evening prayer meeting is a special time, dedicated just to that very thing. And tonight we will be trying a new format for that prayer time. No Bible study - just prayer. You can come anytime between 6:30 - 7:00 and pray. Prayer lists will be provided, and prayer requests will be accepted, and prayers will be offered. You can pray silently, or you can join in praying with a group - the choice is yours.

Will you join us tonight in praying for all the saints?
