Prayer Ministry

"Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night." - George Herbert

Prayer is at the center of everything we do at Simpsonwood. We strongly believe in the power of taking our concerns, needs, and desires to God in prayer. 

Our prayer group meets weekly to pray for every concern shared. Public prayers are placed in our weekly bulletin and private concerns are never published and are held in strictest confidence among those in the prayer group.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen

Wesleyan Covenant Prayer

I am no longer my own, but thine.

Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,

exalted for thee or brought low for thee.

Let me be full, let me be empty.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things

to thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth,

let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.

Prayer Shawls

A handmade prayer shawl made lovingly by a member of Simpsonwood United Methodist Church can be provided to you or anyone you know who needs a “hug” and a reminder that God is always available. Wrap your prayer shawl around your shoulders and remember how God loves you and how we are praying for you every week.
