At the Vineyard, prayer ministry is one of our most important and blessed opportunities. In prayer we bring a brother or a sister before God's throne of grace and what a blessing to be able to stand there with them! On Sundays at the Vineyard, during worship, a group of people can be seen in the front of the room gathering around those who have come forward for prayer. This "prayer-ministry team" only exists as such on Sunday morning. It consists of men and women trained to listen to a person's needs, listen to God, and minister God's grace and healing. When we invite people forward to pray in this way, we invite those who have been trained because we want people who have never come asking for prayer to know that they can expect sensitivity, confidentiality, and a certain capability. All are invited to be trained in this way and we believe each one of us is called and empowered to pray for others. The work of prayer is ongoing though, and each one of us will have opportunities to pray throughout the week; no training is needed to jump right in and offer prayer to a friend who is carrying some burden. If you would like to take our Prayer Ministry Training, or would just like to learn more about how to serve the church through prayer ministry, or intercessory prayer, please contact Dave Maddalena at dave@vcfp.org or at (650) 327-5727. Visit our Prayer home page, where you'll find more information about the various kinds of prayer that go on at VCFP.
