“Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
Prayer is the most powerful tool the Lord has given us and it is available to us at all times. The St. John\u2019s Prayer Ministry Team makes good use of this important resource by providing strength, guidance and blessings for all who need it. Our Team is a group of individuals whose mission is to emphasize the importance of prayer in our church and to lift up prayers for all who ask.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Prayer Chain<\/h4>

The St. John’s prayer chain is a network of individuals who will receive prayer requests and thanksgivings, forward them to the next available person in the network, and will pray immediately for each request. It is a wonderful way for many people to pray for a specific need.<\/p>

To place a prayer request on the prayer chain, you may call\u00a0703-222-2081<\/b>.<\/p>

  1. If the prayer request is for person other than yourself, please get consent before placing on prayer chain.<\/li>
  2. Only the information provided will be used. Information will be used exactly as it is given to coordinator of prayer chain.<\/li>
  3. None of the information provided will be made public in any way.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Prayer Room<\/h4>

    If you would like to have a space for private prayer and meditation, we have a small prayer room available. It is located on the lower level of the Donaldson Hall building next to the Preschool office.<\/p>

    What’s the Good of Prayer?<\/b><\/p>

    We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves;<\/p>

    the Bible’s idea of prayer is that we may get to know God.
    It is not so true that “prayer changes things” as
    that prayer changes me and I change things.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Lorem Ipsum<\/strong>\u00a0is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.<\/p>

    It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
