PRAYER CHAIN

 

 
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
 
 
 
"Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you."

                                                                                                               Matthew 7:7

 

 

 
Definition of a Prayer Chain

 

A group of people who agree to pray for people with prayer needs. When someone in the chain is contacted, they then contact the next person on the list who contacts the next person and so on until everyone is informed and can pray about the issue.

How a Prayer Chain works

EXAMPLE: 

From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. the following will be on the Prayer Chain:

Pastor Phillip and Katherine Enderle 378-3234
Jane Smith   372-XYXY
 
From 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following will be on the Prayer Chain:
Pastor Phillip and Katherine Enderle  378-3234
John Doe   372-XXXX
 
What happens - someone needs a prayer...anyone...(it does not have to be from our own church), but it usually starts at our church family by someone calling the pastor...

If it's before 7 p.m., Pastor or Mrs. Enderle will call Jane Smith because Jane is on the day time Prayer Chain.

If it's after 7 p.m., Pastor or Mrs. Enderle will call John Doe because John is on the night time Prayer Chain.  John would call the next person on his list.  If they are not home, John would leave them a message regarding the prayer concern and then John will keep going down the list until he gets a hold of someone.  John's job is not done until he gets a hold of someone to pass it to.  Everyone on the list (night or day depending on the time) will say a prayer for that person.

BLUE MOON

A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days. The extra days accumulate, so that every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon."

The next blue moon will occur on Thursday, December 31, 2009.

For more "blue moon" information, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_moon.

SILENT NIGHT

1818 - The first performance of "Silent Night" takes place in the Church of St. Nikolaus in Oberndorf, Austria.

 THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE

1914 - World War I: Just after midnight on Christmas morning, German and British troops on the Western Front cease firing their guns and artillery and sing Christmas carols. Crossing the No man's land, they trade gifts with the enemy forces that face them. They also played a game of football with a makeshift ball (fashioned by the Germans) This truce lasts for several days, depending on the location.
