Pray for Schools

Family Prayer Time Ideas!

During the last 3 summers, we have had Family Prayer times during our Summer Prayer Meeting times.

These family prayer times are designed to give families a set time to pray together while also showing some creative ways to pray as a family.



Tonight is the final prayer time for this summer.  The theme is Family Prayer Walks.
Families will have two different options to choose from.  A church prayer walk or a neighborhood prayer walk.

A church prayer walk:  www.emmanuelbaptist.com/images/File/children/churchwide_prayer.pdf
This is designed to remind families of different ministries at Emmanuel Baptist Church and the different pastors for.

A neighborhood prayer walk: www.emmanuelbaptist.com/images/File/children/scavengerhunt.pdf
This is designed to help you walk your neighborhood or the church neighborhood and pray for those in your community.  You may even have opportunities to talk with neighbors about what you are doing.

Just so you know these are great resources to use any time.

Vision, Info & Prayer

Recently we started once month VIP (Vision, Info, Prayer) times for our EKIDZ children's ministry.
The EKIDZ disciple-maker for that month should be at one of these prayer times.
Parents are welcome to join us.
These 5 minute times are designed to remind us what we are doing (Vision), how we are doing it (Info) and who is REALLY doing the work (Prayer)

January's Ministry Focus is Our Children/Family Ministry

Here are a couple of specific prayer requests regarding our children/family ministry.

• UPWARD begins next week.  Please pray for all the details of this ministry.
• Practices:  January - March.  Pray for the coaches and the players to grow closer and closer to God through Jesus Christ.
• Games:  February - March.  Pray for the referees and the half time speakers.
• Sunday morning ministries
• Pray for the teachers as they continue to teach through the New Testament.
• Pray for the children to hear and live out God's word.
• Pray for the parents and families of the children to actively disciple their children.

Thank you for your prayers!

We would love to read your prayers for the ministry.
