Are YOU in Need of Prayer?

Are YOU being overwhelmed by worry?

Are YOU concerned for someone who is undergoing a difficult time?

Are YOU celebrating?

Are YOU mourning?

WE are here for YOU!

Please let us in on your Joys & Concerns so,

we can share with OUR PRAYERS for YOU.

Prayer Tweet: We believe that God hears prayer. We are a community of prayer. As a congregation, we share the burdens and needs of each other, not as a form of gossip, but rather as a means of acting for the good of each other. All who pray are part of the healing community. When you are in need of the prayers of your sisters and brothers in Christ, please contact the church office in person or by phone, 726-0442, or email <umcvista@umcvista.org> or <pastorgeorge@umcvista.org>. In addition to our ongoing prayer chains and teams, we are pleased to introduce a new way of building our community of prayer: The "Prayer Tweet." "Twitter" is an online service which allows individuals to share short (140 character maximum) messages. These messages are referred to as "tweets". It is free, but you do have to register. You may choose to have the message sent to your cell phone or other messaging device (though this might incur a cell-phone provider charge). You may choose to receive email updates. Or you may choose to check the web page for updates. We will soon begin sending urgent prayer requests though this system, in addition to all of the current methods. If you are a member or friend of the congregation, and you are interested in being a part of the prayer ministry of the congregation, please go to Twitter.com. If you are not already registered with Twitter, create an account. When you have an account, sign in and go to <Twitter.com/UMCVprayer>. There, you may register to receive short prayer requests—"prayer tweets".
