PRAYER OPPORTUNITIES AT GLORIA DEI
LIGHT A CANDLE
Whenever you are in the Sanctuary, you are invited to say a prayer and light a candle at the Prayer Candle Station.
You will find it over by the organ pipes.
For praying people, candles and prayer have gone together for thousands of years. Sometimes lighting a candle before praying helps people focus.
Psalm 18:28 – For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
PRAYER LABYRINTH
Several times each year, Gloria Dei sets up a labyrinth in the Courtyard.
Labyrinths are found in many cultures dating back 3,500 years. Medieval Christians walked and prayed instead of taking a hazardous pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The object was to walk in the footsteps of Christ.
On the path, you’ll see 7 red crosses ✜ . When you come upon one, say the prayer that is in the labyrinth pamphlet (click here for pamphlet). May this time of prayer bring you renewal.
OTHER PRAYER OPPORTUNITIES
PRAYER CHAINS – We have many volunteers who regularly pray for others. If you would like to participate in this important ministry or have a loved one “put on” a prayer chain, please contact the office.
PRAYER PARTNERS – Deacon Daneen and others pray every Sunday with people who would like extra prayers for themself or others. Please join her next to the Prayer Candle Station after each morning service.
Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God… (Philippians 4:6-7)
