Prayer Chain

I find my home in Dubuque, Iowa at River City Church - a church plant full of potential.  Many things are in the works and in the heart for this new church, one effort of which is in the works is a prayer chain. A prayer chain is a fantastic opportunity that organizes opportunities for people to be together in interceding on behalf of others in prayer.  Another individual is taking responsibility for managing the chain at River City, however one thing that will also be put into works for this is a handout (in a flyer format) to encourage those who may be looking for a little more information about how to be involved within the prayer chain.  Other handouts will likely find fruition as they become applicable. The following is the prayer handout:




*UPDATE*


I wanted to note that a revision is planned for some time in the future which potentially may be a front and back version to add more content. I wanted to make a couple more points available to people in providing Scripture reference to why prayer's are done in Jesus name (John 14:13-14; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 3:17), and rejoicing in answered prayer (Psalm 28:6-7). I also want to point others to some of the coolest prayers in the Bible including the Lord's prayer (the example to follow --- Matthew 6:9-15), Hannah's prophetic prayer (1 Samuel 1:1-2:10), Daniel's prayer for understanding (what follows is also very important --- Daniel 9:1-19) , Solomon's prayer for understanding (1 Kings 3:1-15).
