OVERVIEW OF ONE ACCORD PRAYER MINISTRY AT SBC

"Lord, teach us to pray"...

The One Accord Prayer Ministry at Southwood Bible Church began in the Fall of 2004 w/ just two women, and has grown to 4 separate groups presently meeting in homes or at the church.


A prayer format is used that has been adapted from "Mom's in Touch International". The one hour prayer time is divided into 4 categories:

1. Praise--praising God for who His character, His names, and who He is.
2. Confession--a time of silent confession
3. Thanksgiving--thanking God for answers to prayer, blessings, or things He's doing in our lives.
   
4. Intercession--personal requests, and then prayer for members of the church. We pray for all the members on a rotating basis, and send postcards to them to let them know that we prayed for them.
   

Using this organized format has absolutely revolutionized our prayer lives! Sad to say, but most of us weren't even praying by ourselves on a regular basis, much less praying w/ other believers. Those of us who have learned this "One Accord" prayer are now hooked, and won't miss a week w/out praying with our partner, or in our groups!

We'd love to have new people join us in prayer! Here are the groups that are presently meeting:

1. Pat's group--Wed. 1:30, her house
2. Joy, Erin and Kelley's group--Wed. 6:00pm in the Lighthouse Room
3. Connie's group--Thurs 9:00am, back foyer at church
4. Joy and Sally--Thurs 9:00am, Lighthouse Room

If you'd like to join us, either contact Joy, or just show up at one of the groups above!
