Prayer Ministries

We seek as a congregation to be a “people of prayer” - in our homes, our church and in our communities. Gloria Dei offers a variety of ways to experience personal prayer, and also pray for others. Throughout the year, workshops provide an opportunity to enhance the skill of hearing from the Lord and communicating with Him. To receive prayer, or participate in any of the prayer ministries, contact Shirley Arbet, Director of Care and Health Ministries, at sarbet@gdlc.org or one of the leaders listed below.

“Be joyful always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I Thess. 5: 16-18
