Someone's Praying When the pager beeps, it means somebody is praying.
The pagers are especially comforting to a person who is ill, lonely, or troubled. High school students and sick people carry pagers as part of Third Christian Reformed Church's ministry in Denver. Each student has an adult prayer leader who pages them from time to time. The church bulletin lists the pager numbers of congregation members. A Catholic church in Topeka, Kan., distributed 40 pagers to ailing parishioners, some of whom can't answer the telephone but like to know they are being prayed for.
