Places to Pray in Calvary ~ Available for individuals or small groups

• Prayer Chapel is a small quiet room located on the north side of the narthex and is available any time the church is open for individual or small groups.

• Prayer Room located on the 2nd floor of the North Wing (N212)

• Any other quiet place you can find open throughout the week.

Prayer Shawl Ministry - Loving hearts and hands make up the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The knitter or crocheter prays for the recipient as her needles create a soft shawl that brings physical warmth and spiritual comfort. The prayer shawl is given to someone who is in crisis or who suffers in body, mind or spirit. It's an embrace of prayer that serves as a tangible reminder of God's constant love and presence that can bring healing to the heart. For more information, please call Judy at 763.588.4419 or Linda at 763.545.7313.

Prayer Warriors - The Prayer Warrior program is for men interested in deepening their faith through prayer - Prayer Warriors pray before and during each worship service at Calvary for requests of the congregation, church staff, and the church as a whole.  This group of approximately 100 have committed themselves to do the following:

• Commit to one Sunday morning per month. On that Sunday Prayer Warriors come at 7:20 a.m. to pray in the sanctuary for the day's services of worship. They also gather to pray for the pastors and others involved in worship that day. Then, each of the Prayer Warriors commits to one of the hours of worship. During that time, several men meet in Pastor Dornbusch's office to pray for the worshippers of that service, as well as, pray through the prayer request cards collected in worship.

No extensive experience in prayer is needed to become a Prayer Warrior. The only qualification is a desire to grow your faith through prayer. If you have an interest in this ministry, contact Pastor Steve Dornbusch, 763.231.2960 or eMail sdornbusch@calvary.org
