Prayer Request | Emmanuel Lutheran Church Kettering

We're Here for You

The Power of Prayer

"Pray without ceasing..."

— 1 Thessalonians 5:17

At Emmanuel, we believe prayer is a vital part of our lives as Christians — both asking for prayer for our needs and praying for the needs of others.

Whatever you're facing — a health crisis, family struggles, financial worries, grief, or something else — we want to lift you up in prayer. Below are two ways to submit prayers that you may have on your heart.

Two Ways to Share Your Prayer

Congregation Prayer

Submit a prayer to be shared with all in our congregation. Your request will be included in our weekly prayer list so our church family can lift you up together.

Submit a more private and confidential prayer need. This will go only to Pastor's small prayer group called "Simply Pray" and will be held in strict confidence.

Note: These prayer requests will be directed to the administrators of Emmanuel Lutheran Church Prayer Chain, then posted to the prayer feed so that others may pray for you. By default, your first and last name will be shared on the feed, but you can mark this prayer as anonymous if desired. Occasionally there is a need to make slight edits to prayer requests to protect personal identities and ensure sensitive topics are presented in a way that is appropriate for all audiences.

I would like to receive email notifications when I am prayed for.
