Prayer Chain

Prayer CHain

​ "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

A prayer chain is an electronic way of contacting people who will individually offer up intercessory prayer for those who would like extra prayers. We all have situations arise that only prayer can help. This is a way of amplifying the power of prayer and drawing us closer as a church family. God hears and answers our prayers. There are two ways to participate in this ministry:

1. Become a pray-er. You will be contacted weekly when prayer requests come in. If you would like to become a link in the Prayer Chain, please call, Pastoral Ministry leader Nancy Davis at 608-742-6998 ext. 217 or email at ndavis@stmaryotic.org (Portage) or Sr. Anita Henning at 6089812282 or email stmaryhofc@maqs.net (Briggsville).

​2. Call or email a prayer request. If you would like to be prayed for, please call the Director of Pastoral Ministries, Nancy Davis at 608-742-6998 or email at ndavis@stmaryotic.org (Portage) or Sr. Anita Henning at 608-981-2282 or email stmaryhofc@maqs.net (Briggsville).Please keep us updated as to the outcome. Your request will remain with the Prayer Chain for one week, unless we hear from you that more prayers are needed. We are happy to keep you on the Prayer Chain as long as needed. Your requests will be kept confidential. No names will be used. When you call or email, please let us know if you would like to receive Holy Communion or would like a visit.

We encourage you to share answered prayers along with the miracles that have happened because of prayer.
