15 February 2011 - Special Prayer Requests

Hal Campbell will be undergoing surgery for a cancerous lesion on the inside of his cheek and the associated lymph node. So far it has not spread, but time is of the essence. Hal’s family asks that you pray for God’s help to direct Hal to the right surgical team, a successful surgery and rapid recovery.

Sandra Lee’s Aunt Peggy had surgery to remove a gallstone several weeks ago, and has not been able to come home because of complications including infection in her gall bladder and weakening in her liver and kidneys. Please also pray for her husband, Archie, who is very worried about her health and who recently suffered a stroke himself.

Carl, Susanne Barrett’s father, had surgery last week to remove Stage 4 skin cancer (melanoma) from his shoulder, the pathology report came back this perfect: the lymph nodes are cancer-free! So Carl requires no further treatment except for getting the stitches removed next week. Please pray a prayer of thanksgiving.

Sandra gives thanks for finding what appears to be the perfect fit in new employment where she can use her considerable talents to make her new employer more successful. She asks you =pray that God will guide her to be a good and well organized worker. Please join her in a prayer of thanksgiving for God’s guidance.

The Why, The Who and The How

Why? Prayer is an extremely important activity.

It is not that God knows not our needs, for He surely does. Yet, Jesus commanded us to ask God for those same needs. In addition to the obvious of asking God for help, offering thanksgiving and the like, prayer helps us focus our thoughts on how we might do God's work.

The Prayer Team of the Alpine Anglican Church of the Blessed Trinity was established to help our members and fellow Christians pray for those in need and to give thanks as well for the blessings we have been granted.

Who can be on the list? Do I have to be a member of the Blessed Trinity Church to be prayed for?

No! The only qualification to be on the list is that you want our prayer team to pray for you. We are Christians and are happy to pray for you, no matter who you are. If you want help from God, you are our kind of people.

What is the commitment from the prayer team?

Each member of the team will pray for the desired outcome at last once per day.

How do I get myself or someone else on the prayer list?

You can email one of the prayer team leaders: Greg - gnchase@cox.net or Dru - dru@descansorodents.com, or call the church office at (619) 722-1772 or fill out a prayer card at church.

What should I ask for?

Depends on what you want. Some people merely want God to be asked to heal their ills and be mentioned by their first name, others want a specific outcome and / or have more of their personal information known to the team. Ask for what you want. It is your desire and need for prayer the team is attempting to meet. For typical examples, see the list below.

Updating the Team

If you are on our prayer list, or if you have submitted a person that you have asked us to pray for, please update one of the team members or Father Acker in person, by telephone or email. It helps to be able to pray specifically for these individuals including their specific needs; plus if they get better, it is nice to give thanks!

Please note that on the yellow (maybe green or orange if you got an old one) cards at church, you can ask that those to be prayed for have their names disseminated to the "prayer team". Those names will be said in church and appear here. Or, you can ask that their names and purpose be kept confidential, then only Father Acker will know to pray for them.
