Please call the church office at (814) 266-9588 to request prayers.


PRAYER SHAWLS

In the midst of the Covid Pandemic, 90 year-old Vie Kelly approached Pastor Adam about starting a new ministry. With whole-hearted support, Vie and friends began making Prayer Shawls – for the sick, shut-in, bereaved, newly parented…..anyone who is weary and needs comfort. Donations of yarn are accepted. The shawls are found in the Narthex, and we ask that you list the name of the person to whom you are gifting a shawl so that we can continue to pray for the recipient.


PRAYER WARRIORS

Bethany Church of Richland is blessed with many members who hold the gift of healing through prayer. We recognize that one’s highest aim should be to bring glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31), and this includes praying according to His will. First, we must ask for wisdom. “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5). In asking for wisdom, we must also trust that God is gracious and willing to answer our prayers: “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt” (James 1:6; see also Mark 11:24). So, praying according to the will of God includes asking for wisdom (to know the will of God) and asking in faith (to trust the will of God).
