Longtime King’s Chapel member Cynthia Perkins has agreed to serve as leader of the King’s Chapel Prayer Circle, a group of ten church members who pray regularly and confidentially for those who have requested prayers. The Prayer Circle offers regular prayers for those who do not wish to be publically named on the Bede List; those names are read aloud during Morning Prayer.
The Prayer Circle was headed for many years by Lee Glenn, whom our congregation recently elected to serve as our Junior Warden. We are deeply grateful to Lee for her steadfast ministry through the Prayer Circle. Lee gently received all prayer requests, ensuring that she understood the needs of the person seeking prayer. “For what shall we pray?” Lee always asked, a beautiful question that helps us become more deeply aware of our specific hopes and needs. By her own example and faith in the power of prayer, Lee brought integrity, confidentiality, and compassion to the Prayer Circle’s work. I treasure the work we share in this Prayer Circle. It's a sacred responsibility to offer prayers for one another, and for those whom we do not know. This is one of the great gifts of being a participant in the life of King’s Chapel – we are not alone and can be well supported in prayer. Along with the ministers, the members of the Prayer Circle for the coming year are Stephen Courtney, Charles Dietrick, Carol Genovese, Lee Glenn, Dorothy Johnson, Judy Luca, Cynthia Perkins, Betsy Peterson, Sylvia Soderberg, and Levina Wong. We thank these faithful stewards of this task, who hold the needs and heartaches of the many whom we support by prayer. ~ Joy, Senior Minister All requests to the Prayer Circle are held in confidence. Members and friends of King’s Chapel are encouraged to make their prayer requests known to one of the clergy or to Cynthia directly at cbhperkins@gmail.com. Comments are closed.
