We believe that God sustains and grows us through prayer.
For that reason, our church and its ministries
 are bathed in prayer every day of the week.
 Here are a few other prayer opportunities:

Individual Prayer is available on Sundays after the worship services. Look for a Prayer Team member, wearing a blue name tag,  in the corner of the Meetinghouse (by the steeple entrance). Prayer with individual members or with pastors may be requested at any time. Contact any pastor or staff member at First Church to make a connection.

Weekly Prayer Plan is a guide to praying for the First Church staff, lay leadership, ministries and missions in the course of a week. If interested in praying for the church, please contact Tessa.

Prayer Wall The prayers on the Prayer Wall are routinely prayed for and remain current for four weeks. They will be removed from the prayer list after that period, unless you give us an update.
