Prayer Room

Tuesday Morning Prayer Room

1st question: What could be better than spending a morning with Jeff Cook?
2nd question: What could be better than spending a morning in prayer?
Next question: What if you could combine those two options?

That’s what happens each Tuesday morning at 9:30am at Salem. With Jeff’s leadership, and the help of a couple other people each week, prayers for Salem members, family, and friends who we know are in need are prayed. The yellow prayer cards submitted on Sunday mornings are all prayed over. The prayer requests on the prayer chains are prayed over. And they are prayed over each week until it’s learned that the prayers have been answered.

You are invited to come take part in the Prayer Room on Tuesday mornings. Come every week, once a month, or whenever you can. No reservation or experience is required. You won’t have pray out loud. Come and meet with others in the Library (behind the sanctuary) at 9:30. It lasts about an hour to an hour and a half. If you have, or can take some time to come be part of the Prayer Room you will be warmly welcomed, and you will be blessed.
