Prayer Line

The Nativity Prayer Line is a group of people who take prayer requests from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and from 6:00-7:00 p.m. This ministry has been a source of comfort, grace and healing for countless parishioners over the years. If you have a prayer request call Bette or Mary Kay. They will in turn call the first person on the prayer list who adds the intention to his or her daily prayers. They in turn call the next person on their list. The process continues until all volunteers have been contacted. Each person makes only one call but the cumulative effect is tremendous. |
