As one of the CUMC 150th Anniversary celebration focus areas, our congregation has held prayer as one of its defining characteristics. A prayer festival known as Prayer Fest will be held, not only to celebrate this identity, but to look for God to enhance and expand our prayer life. Prayer Fest will be both a celebration of Christ UMC’s historical prayers to God over 150 years and a training event for the current congregation to launch further into seeking God in prayer.
Prayer Fest will be geared toward the entire family, with child care provided for ages 3 and younger, and prayer activities for children ages 4+. Prayer Fest will be mostly an interactive time at prayer stations where participants may arrive and depart when they wish.
There will be special presentations and corporate prayer times that will occur during the day. The detailed schedule will be distributed closer to the time so you may decide when to arrive and depart. There will be a closing prayer service at 1:30pm where we would like as many as possible to be present to join in a corporate prayer opportunity. A quiet room will also be available for those who wish to pray in solitude.
Participants will have an ongoing opportunity to visit a prayer reference table for future study. There will be self-guided stations available on various prayer topics such as: tips for beginners, intercessory prayer, forgiveness, confession/repentance, praying for your family, and lots more!
No registration required! Join us any time from 10 AM - 2 PM on Saturday, May 17th!
