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.
