Praying for our Elders, Pastors, and Congregation
Please join us in praying for our pastors, elders and congregation as we seek God for his direction, wisdom and unity over the next few months. To sign up for this prayer movement at Midland Free, VISIT THIS LINK.
You have two opportunities to pray during this movement:
1. Corporately once a month - these prayer “meetings” will be via online video conferencing on the fourth Wednesday of each month from 8:00 pm to 8:30 pm.
2. Privately once a week - we will send you an email with prayer prompts to assist your prayer time throughout the week.
We encourage you to participate in both corporate and private intercession. Either can be accessed from any device as long as you have an Internet connection and a working email address.
It is our hope that using this kind of technology and time frame will allow us to pray "together" by removing some of the obstacles for our younger families (from home and after bedtime), and for all of us who struggle with full schedules where extra driving time can make or break our ability to participate.
Please join us in asking God to shape our hearts, minds and future ministry at Midland Free. To sign up, click here.
