Jesus' followers copied His example ... they incorporated prayer as a routine part of their daily lives. They are found frequently praying together as they are empowered by the Holy Spirit to spread the gospel throughout the Mediterranean region. The Early Church was guided by the Spirit of God through Jesus’ teachings and prayer.

Our congregation at Northern Hills works to follow the pattern given by Jesus and established by those first Christians. We acknowledge that we are to pray, know, and share the Good News that Jesus brought us. We are a Christian community that gathers together in worship, prayer, and fellowship, learning the gospel, and spreading it around to people who don’t yet know it.

Whether you identify yourself as a prayer novice or a prayer warrior, God calls you to pray faithfully. Graciously, God has given us a lot of ways to pray ... congregational prayer - as we find in worship; intercessory prayer – as we intercede on behalf of someone else; Psalms – Biblical prayers and songs on a spectrum of human conditions; healing prayer – for specific problems.

Where do you fit into this life of prayer at Northern Hills? Would you like to have some prayer training? Would you like to pray with people after worship? Do you want to contact and pray for those people who are experiencing loss?

God has given us all hearts and minds designed to love and be in contact with God as we grow together in prayer ministries. Please contact Susan Porr at 210-654-0881 or susanp@nhumc.org to participate in our growing Prayer Ministry.
