Prayer Walk, Sunday May 2

Posted on April 28, 2010

During the 9:00 AM Sunday school hour, youth and adults are invited to go on a prayer walk around the surrounding neighborhood. During the prayer walk, we will be distributing door hangers for the National Day of Prayer. What is a prayer walk? It will look something like this:

  • Everyone will be divided into groups of 3-5 people and given a map of your prayer walk route.
  • You will be given door hangers for the national day of prayer.
  • Individually, you will walk up to a house, drop a door hanger, and say a short prayer of blessing for the house.
  • Anyone can do it!
