Zion's Daily Prayers: WHO? WHAT? WOW! & WITNESS!
Concerns
“Evolving Prayer
Prayer is one of our core values at Zion. We are always seeking new ways to bring spiritual depth to our daily prayer life, to utilize prayer to draw us more closely together, and to bring us deeper into relationship with God.
To encourage daily prayer by Zion’s members and friends, we take time during Sunday worship to lift up our spoken prayers. A member of the congregation will speak, and the pastor will affirm the spoken prayer by repeating it aloud. Consider balancing privacy with concern; using only first names when ever possible. Prayers from our 24-hour prayer line (315-791-2105) are added during worship. ”
