Knit One/Pray One

Organist

We have an active prayer ministry called Knit One/Pray One. Unlike the Prayer Chain which is activated through the phone or email, the Knit One/Pray One group meests at 10 a.m. on the third Monday of the month to knit or crochet lap robes, prayer shawls, caps and mittens. The shawls and lap robes are given to people when they are ill or otherwise need to sense God's love. The hats and mittens are shared in many ways. Each fall we provide our United Methodist Children's Service in Milwaukee with 40 or 50 hats and mittens to be used as needed there. We also provide hats and mittens for the North Side Elementary School in Sun Prairie. Currently we are making caps for new borns in cooperation with the “Save the Children’s” organization.

At our meetings we spend an extensive time in prayer - usually praying for concerns that were raised in worship or brought to the Prayer Chain. Our membership is small, but we provide a vital ministry.

   

Prayer Chain
 

On an average Sunday morning, millions of Christians gather to pray with one another in churches around the world. Prayer is at the heart of worship.

Outside of regular weekend worship, many people pray for the needs of others through Prayer Chains. We have three telephone/e-mail Prayer Chains. The people in this ministry believe that one of the most caring and helpful things we can do for one another in times of joy or need is to pray. Our Prayer Chains are crisis oriented and time sensitive. We respond immediately to an expressed need for prayer. We pray wherever we are when we receive a request for prayer.

If you have a prayer concern you would like to share with either of these ministries, contact Laurie Goss at the church-(608) 837-5554. Laurie can also provide you with information about participating in a prayer ministry.
