Be Still: An Evening of Prayer, November 15

Maybe you know the prayer circle. Folding chairs, heads bowed, and the prayer coming around the room one person at a time. Somebody prays beautifully. Somebody prays for a long while. And you spend most of the circle working out what you'll say when it gets to you. I've been in that circle. I've rehearsed in it. By the time my turn came, I was talking to the room more than to God.


Those prayers are real, and God hears every one of them. But somewhere along the way a lot of us started to believe that prayer means talking, and that the good

prayers are the ones who can find the words.

COLLEGE STUDENT ADDRESSES NEEDED PLEASE AND VOLUNTEERS TO BECOME A PEN PAL FOR OUR STUDENTS IN COLLEGE!

We are updating our College Pen Pal Program! If you have, or know of a church member who is currently a student in college, please reach out to our coordinator Penny Wilson (pennywilson1@hotmail.com) and provide us with their address. She will be working closely with Kat Price to match students with a pal! We want to pair them with an active adult church member pen pal partner. If you are interested in becoming a pen pal with one of our college students please contact Penny. The pen pals pray for each other, and it is suggested you send a card or text occasionally just because, to let them know what is going on at CUMC, for birthdays, holidays, and to invite the student home to Covenant when they are back in town on breaks. Also, care packages and words of encouragment are appreciated prior to exam weeks etc. We hope you will consider being a part of this fun and exciting ministry! Thank you.
