Prayer Meeting

Prayer meeting tonight began by singing several songs (about ten or so). I played the piano and we sang the first and last stanzas. Then Mike took requests, and everybody wrote them down on little half-sheet prayer lists that he handed out. After taking requests, the men and women divided up for prayer. The men sat in a circle and each one took one or two requests. There were several visitors there this evening, workers who were in the area doing some work in underground telephone cable. Some prayed, but before we began, one man said, “Those three men aren’t going to pray because they don’t know the Lord.”
After the prayer time, we met back again in the main room, and I preached from Isaiah 40:1-11. You can read more about the message at my blog. At the close of the service, we passed out pictures that Bekah’s dad made for us of Isaiah 40:8. The people really enjoyed that.
