Prayer Ministries
We seek as a congregation to grow spiritually through "fervent prayer" for one another at a variety of times and places:  Pastor's Prayer Partners, Intercessory Prayer Team/Prayer Closet, Prayer Note Writers, Emergency Prayer Chain, MASH (Mothers Against Satan's Hold), Healing Prayer Team, and Early Thursday Prayer.  To participate in any of these ministries, contact Shirley Arbet, Director of Care and Health Ministries at sarbet@gdlc.org.
