Prayer
Ministry ~ Intercessors
Hillside Church and the Pastoral Team are excited to welcome the new
Prayer Team of Intercessors into our worship life. Trained by Pastors
Mark and Maiya, led and coordinated by Bob Hay, the intercessors were consecrated
for this service during worship last week and will begin their ministry of
prayer this week during worship. During our weekly time of singing and
praise be sure avail yourself of an opportunity to pray with, offer a testimony
of praise, or be prayed for by one of our intercessors. We believe God
will be working powerfully through this new ministry, for not only will be
available for prayer during worship, but are committed to praying for each
of you before, during and after worship as well. NEW
INTERCESSORY TEAM for Sunday worship. |
