There is a basket on the welcome desk in the Welcome Center at the foot of a small cross. You are encouraged to write your prayers to God on the slips of paper provided and put them in the basket. At each worship service, the prayer basket will be brought forward with our monetary offerings and we will lift your prayers to God as more general prayers are spoken by and for the congregation. No one else will read what you have written--it's your communication straight to God.
