The Pine Lake Congregation draws people who enjoy exuberant singing, emotionally moving heartfelt prayer and thought-provoking presentations. The group divides into groups of four or five and has one person sit in a chair in the center. The person in the center shares their name and one thing they would like prayer for. The group then lays hands on their shoulders and prays for them. The small group bathes the person in prayer.
People find joy in speaking blessings into the heart of a Christian brother or sister.
There is a strong sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit and tears of joy and release often flow. Several said they experienced for the first time, or renewed, their sense of intimacy with Jesus. Those who come to Pine Lake are not afraid of emotions or openly declaring their love for Jesus. John McKenna from Pasadena was guest presenter. Dr. McKenna gave a moving description of his conversion and journey with Jesus.
