One of the many ministries of First Presbyterian Church is prayer. There currently exists two ladies' prayer chains composed of 70 women from within the FPC family who have agreed to pray for members of our congregation and their families when problems due to illness, injury, death, job concern or any other matter for which the family might desire prayer.

If you or any member of your family would like prayer support, please call Emily Eberle and the prayer chains will be activated. If you would like to be a prayer warrior yourself, call Emily, and she will see that you are added to either the daytime or the night prayer chain.

The body of Christ is called to support each other in prayer, and it is truly a privilege!
