Prayer and Card Ministry is made up of a dedicated group of men and women who meet every Wednesday
morning at 8:30 a.m. to pray! We pray to glorify God, but we also pray in order to receive the benefits of
prayer from His hand. Prayer is for our benefit, even in light of the fact that God knows the end from the
beginning. It is our privilege to bring the whole of our finite existence into the glory of His infinite presence.
