Well, please know &#8211; we want to pray for you! So we\u2019re pleased to offer an almost weekly ministry called <strong>\u201cPrayer Care\u201d<\/strong>. It\u2019s an opportunity for us to pray for you individually, privately and personally. Volunteer pray-ers are available and happy to offer intercessory prayer with you.

You are invited to just come for-ward, one at a time, if you\u2019d like to be prayed for. Let your prayer volunteer know what your concern or need is and she or he will lead you in a brief time of prayer to our gracious Lord about it. In the event that there is a line, please just hang back a bit to give adequate space to those praying in case the needs are confidential or sensitive in nature. This \u201cPrayer Care\u201d ministry takes place every Sunday EXCEPT the first week of each month \u2013 as we don\u2019t want to interrupt the Sunday School staff\u2019s celebration of Holy Communion which already takes place immediately after service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beacon Falls Congregational Church takes prayer seriously.
