JOIN THE CONVERSATION on Facebook! Since we can't meet in person, it is sometimes hard for us to feel like the family of God. So we created a couple of pages on our church Facebook page. We'd like to start a conversation and be in touch throughout the week in order to ENCOURAGE, PRAY, & BUILD ONE ANOTHER UP. This page is private & is for those connected to Faith Evangelical Church in order to continue to be the body of Christ during these strange times!

We believe in the power of prayer. We pray to a loving & all-powerful God for whom nothing is impossible. We put our trust and hope in him and we lift up the following requests to Him.
- Pray for Priscilla Harris' family (husband Harry), and friends in prayer as we got word that she fell asleep in the Lord yesterday.
- Pray for Kathy Baker for her job situation, that it may not be in jeopardy due to COVID-19, but that she may keep her employment.
- Praying for the family of AC Pastor Bill Chadwick and Stroudwater Christian Church as they mourn his tragic loss
- Pray for George Peabody for healing & strength with his heart
- Pray for Joan Dean who is undergoing chemotherapy in her fight against cancer.
- Pray for all those mourning : the families of BeverlyYngve, Ruth Crivello, David MacGibbon, Jones family, Knapp family.
- Pray for Denise Martone as she recovers from fighting cancer.
- Pray for Carolyn Smith and her ongoing health needs.
- COVID-19 - Pray for our leaders who need to make difficult decisions, those who are negatively impacted healthwise or financially. We pray also for the safety of the many essential workers.
- Mental Health - Pray for those struggling during this difficult season as it only tends to exacerbate mental health conditions.
- The Lost - All around us there are those who don't know Christ as Lord and Savior. Please pray we can have an impact on these people and that the Lord would use us to reach them.
- Our Church - Pray for God to still be at work & growing in us, even as we cannot meet together. May we continue to seek his face & long to walk more in step with God's Spirit.
- Our World - India : This week we pray for the Fellowship of Blessed Hope Churches in southern India. We pray for Rev. a. Jerald, president of FBHC to lead the pastors to shepherd their churches according to Christ's example (1 Peter 5:1-3). We pray for fruitful efforts from the churches to reach their communiities with the glorious news of the Gospel.
- Pray with us by picking up your copy of the 2020 Prayer Guide at the back of the sanctuary.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
