Prayer Request

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.

Christians are given the Biblical command to pray  continually and for one another (1 Thessalonians 5:17and  (Ephesians 6:18). We are also given the admonition for healing prayer (James 5:13-16). We urge you to participate in the Prayer Ministry at this church and to increase your own prayer ministry by joining in one of the following groups in the Prayer Ministry at Kerrville First United Methodist Church.

GENERAL TELEPHONE
PRAYER CHAIN 

     This group passes requests for prayer through a call list. The requests are received from the church telephone Prayer Line and personal requests through the church office.

EMAIL CHAIN
PRAYER MINISTRY

This is a group of people who receive prayer requests by email. It is a "blind" list meaning that only the church office has the identity of the members of the chain. Participants are able to conduct their prayer ministry at their own designated time.

CHURCH STAFF
PRAYER MINISTRY

This is a continual prayer ministry of the Kerrville First United Methodist Church directed at very specific individual requests and general prayer requests at staff meetings.  

 

 

To make a prayer request please include as much of the following as you wish to provide:

Name of person for whom request is made
Location of person (hospital, city, etc.)
Nature of request (sympathy, get well, financial, etc.)
How you can be reached - if you desire
(email, phone, etc.)

Submit your request directly to Kerrville First United Methodist Church at 

(830) 257-0822 or by email

HOW TO MAKE A PRAYER REQUEST

I. Fill out a Prayer Request Card
These are found in the pews of the sanctuary and chapel. Either drop them in the offering plate with the offering, in the prayer request box in the doorway, or drop off at the office. These will be given to the Prayer Warriors for their Tuesday gathering. 

II. Call the telephone Prayer Line.
The number is 257-0822. Just leave a message on the automated line. The prayer line facilitator will take your request and forward it through a call list.

III. E-mail your request to  kfumc@kfumc.org and your request will be forwarded to those on the email list through a blind system which hides email addresses.

IV. You may make a prayer request directly to the church clergy or the office staff. The church office number is 257-0800.

CONFIDENTIALITY

You do not need to provide details on why prayer is sought or needed; just the name and a general request for prayer. Specific information, if given, is not included in the request when it is distributed to the prayer chains.

THE HEALING PRAYER MINISTRY

A short healing prayer service is offered each Sunday in the library after the 11:00 o'clock service. Please come to the library at that time and someone will be there to pray with and for you. Upon request we will be happy to conduct a healing service at any other time during the week. For example, it may be in the hospital, in your home or in the chapel at the church. Please contact Anita Hornung at 895-3557 to arrange for a service or call Pastor Hornung at 257-0804.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PRAYER MINISTRY

This prayer ministry is conducted by individual Sunday School Classes and is usually limited to class members.
