“Whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours.”  
- Mark 11:24

“If you believe, you will receive
whatever you ask for in prayer.”   
-  Matthew 21:22

First Lutheran Church Women have organized a system by which persons in need – physical, mentally, or otherwise – are prayed for – for their health to be returned to them or to be relieved of pain or stress or heartache in their lives.  This system is called the Prayer Chain.  It has eight chains, consisting of 8 to 10 First Lutheran Church Women in each chain.  Whenever a prayer request comes in, for someone that is ill or ready for surgery or has some stressful event in their lives or in the life of a loved one, the Prayer Chain is started. The first person on each chain is called by the Chain Coordinator with the news and information regarding that request.  That person passes it on to the next one on her chain list and so on, and it goes on from there, thus starting the prayer cycle.  The chain person clearly states the name of the person to be prayed for, the reason for the prayer, and asks that the request be passed on to the next in the chain.

If you have a need for prayer in your daily life – whether it be for yourself, for a loved one, or for a friend, please feel free to call our Prayer Chain Coordinator, Adeline Forsberg, at 839-4456, so the chain can be started.  Or you may call the church office, at 852-4853, with the information and a prayer will be started for the person in need.

If you would like to be a caller on our Prayer Chain, please call us – we will be happy to include your name on one of our chain lists.  Our callers spend a great deal of their time in making these calls and passing these prayers on and we would like to express our thanks and appreciation to the over 70 First Lutheran Women who assist in making this most effective system work.
