Those placed on the prayer list are there for one month, unless otherwise designated. Kathy Couch Contemplative Pray-ers Inspired by the Thomas Keating Centering prayer model, this group allies meditation practices with silent prayer and offers a powerful method of attending to the word of God. This intercessory prayer group has met weekly for the past seven years to pray for the needs of the parish of St. Margaret's, the larger community and the world. Prayers are offered for the various ministries, programs, and people of the church on a rotational basis throughout the year. Also, those names and concerns listed in the Book of Intercessions found in the Narthex of the church are remembered during each prayer session.
All parishioners are welcome to attend.
The request on each card can be offered silently or out loud during the Prayers of the People during church services. They can also be taken home and prayerfully offered during personal prayer time. The cards are available to all members of the church. This book is found in the Narthex of the church, and offers prayers for the world, nation, and parish concerns. It also provides room for individuals to make weekly requests for friends and family in the areas of thanksgivings, healing, guidance and strength, safe travel, employment concerns, and for those who have died.
