ROCK #1: PRAYER
Goal: for Wellspring Church to grow in the area of prayer
All-church equipping
Seeking to incorporate more emphasis on prayer as the topic arises in the biblical texts used for sermons (e.g. the book of Daniel)
21 days prayer and fasting leading up to Easter (March 10th-30th)
Offertory slot on Sundays being used at times to teach and model prayer
Articles on prayer being sent out through our email communication
Recommended reading on prayer being available in the Connection Center
Larger gatherings
Sunday night prayer services this summer (maybe 4-6 services)
Possible Adult discipleship class or book club on prayer
Rooted curriculum has two weeks on prayer
A class or two of Women’s Bible Study devoted to the topic of prayer
Possible Men’s Connect with a teaching on prayer
Life Groups
Life Groups may choose to study a curriculum on prayer, but will be encouraged to go through Rooted which, again, has two weeks on prayer.
Smaller Groups
Having a recommended resource on prayer in the Connection Center will be a good place to encourage those in mentoring relationships to consider having prayer be a point of emphasis in their time together.
Prayer Coordinator
We will look for a volunteer prayer coordinator, responsible for helping our church launch a better overall system of receiving prayer requests, praying for prayer requests, and – if needed – follow up on prayer requests. This person will serve as a part of the Care Advisory Team.
Sunday Prayer Team
Led by Jo Elzinga, this team is designed to pray for the needs of Wellspring on a Sunday morning, especially through praying with individuals.
