American Poet Robert Frost defined "home" as, "the place that, when you go there, they have to take you in." McKendree just might be the spiritual home you have been looking for!
Prayer Ministry – February 2010 – “It’s LOVE that makes the world do around”
Prayer Focus – In February, we think about Love. There are three kinds of love: “philia” or friendship, “eros” or human love, and “agape” or God’s or perfect love. God showed us what perfect love is like in the person of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus we are able to see perfect love in action. He was obedient to God unto death. In this “Love” month, let us make a conscientious effort to show God’s love to others.
Scripture Meditations: “Greater love has no person than this, that He lay down His life for His friends.” John 15:13
Thank God for:
Our loving church family
Our loving personal family
His love for us
Ask God for:
For more love for others
To show us His will in our lives
For opportunities to show God’s love
Vision: That McKendree would be known as a "House of Prayer". Mission: Through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, it is our mission to educate, intercede, encourage and model prayer that results in a powerful prayer life that transforms each individual, our church and our community. Intercession: The Prayer Force and the prayer warriors of McKendree UMC are ready to intercede
on behalf of anyone who requests prayer.
Requests: Prayer requests can be made in several ways….
Via this website
Via the pew-back forms placed in the offering plate or prayer request box in the church lobby
Via phone to the church office
Confidentiality: We are concerned for your privacy. Based on how you complete your request, it will either be shared just with the pastors and a small circle of Prayer Force members or with the church body via email and/or the weekly Prayer Requests and Praise Reports Sheet.
Praises: We love to sing praises to our Lord. If you have been blessed, please share it with the body of Christ so we may join you in shouting, “Hallelujah!”
