The focus of effort has been on the week of 24/7 Prayer for New York State, OneHeartCry, in which seven churches will participate the week of June 3-9. The Grand Island Ministerium has been involved in backing the event.
The seven churches and their days to observe 24/7 prayer are as follows:
Sun. June 3 - St. Stephen’s, also with a sheltered outdoor area open during the week for prayer
Mon. June 4 - St .Timothy
Tues. June 5 Live, Laugh,Love Ministries
Wed. June 6 – Island Presbyterian
Thurs. June 7 – Harbor Lights Fellowship
Fri. June 8 - Trinity
Sat. June 9 – St. Martin’s
Their will be an opening joint worship service on Sat. June 2nd at 2pm for the general public and hopefully representatives from each of the churches will attend and speak briefly. Trinity will host this in the main sanctuary. Our two pastors will be at Annual Conference on that date but several other times were discussed and this was the group’s decision.
Publicity and planning will begin this week – Sue Kaiser and Jan Popielski from Harbor Lights will head this effort.
Watch for further notices and sign-up for times which can be observed either in the Prayer Room or at home.
Gloria Brown advises us that she will be out of town for the next two weeks and calls should be made to the office.
Pastor Larry was given a congregational prayer at the 10:30 service for his work and spiritual discernment at The General Conference coming up from Tues. April 24th to May 4. Prayers during that time are encouraged as well for the whole body of United Methodists from around the world. He has arranged coverage for all services while gone.
Respectfully, Rev. Sue Kaiser, Prayer Ministries Coordinator
