Prayer MinistryPrayer Ministry is a relatively new group formed after Pastor Erick, Trish LaRock-Miller, Sheila Kerry, Connie Young and then Vicar Jessica Lambert attended a seminar on Prayer in April of 2006. At a meeting to discuss the seminar, it was decided that an ongoing team was needed to monitor existing prayer practices and introduce prayer-related opportunities to the congregation in an on going basis. Members at this time are:

 The prayer ministry team had a very productive 2008 with the Lenten Prayer Vigil and finishing with Companions in Christ. In a join effort with the Fellowship & Recreation Team, we had a Chili Cook-off and a Silent Auction as a fund-raise to send Pastor Erick, Intern Michelle & Connie Young to Stephen Ministries training. After their return, several Immanuel members have began their training to become Stephen Ministers. The quarterly Healing Services, and praying with food pantry recipients once a month kept the team busy. The Prayer Chain was kept busy with over 30 prayer requests in 2008. We have 32 members who participate in the morning, evening and email calling lists. We did lose two longtime prayer chain members to a greater calling this year, so the morning list is smaller. If you feel a calling to join the prayer chain, please contact
