Good morning. I have reached out to the church a few times but haven’t heard back yet. I know times now are difficult and the church isn’t meeting but we could always use prayer. I am asking now what prayers you or the church may need other than COVID-19. The following was my original message. If you have responded and I missed it I am sorry, please let me know by a text or call at the number below with the email it was sent from and I’ll check my email again. I do want to apologize that a few months ago most of my messages got wiped from my inbox and hopefully it wasn’t in there!
Good morning. My name is Courtney Prieto and alongside my husband Frank, we are the youth pastors at The Place Church in Blanchard (www.gototheplace.com) As a church, we have what we call Church of the Week. This is where we choose a church from the surrounding area to pray for that week. We’d like to pray for Grace Fellowship of Norman during this next week. So, here comes the hard part…what would you like us to pray for? It can be for the church, personal, or for the community. If we could also use your picture from the website so we can put a face with the prayers, that’d be great. Thank you for your time, and stay safe!
Courtney,
I apologize for not getting back to you, thank you for your prayers. Prayer needs are health for our vulnerable population, wisdom and discernment in regard to most Christlike time, and method, to resume physical gatherings in way that is most selfless and merciful. Thanks!
