Greetings from the Iowa-Nebraska Association of
Congregational Christian Churches!

Last fall the Iowa-Nebraska Association made the decision to pursue restructuring a Prayer Room to cover the 2005 Annual Meeting in Kansas City.  After gaining support and permission from both Moderator Hannah Wing Hall and the Executive Committee, we are taking the initiative to organize and staff an open Prayer Room.  To see this endeavor through, your support is vital!  We ask all who plan to attend the Annual Meeting to prayerfully consider giving an hour to serve as host in the Prayer Room.

Express Purposes of the Prayer Room:

• To seek God’s will and guidance for the NA

• To pray for the officers, divisions, delegates, attendees and presenters during the meeting

• To intercede during the plenary sessions and business meetings

• To join in prayer with any attendee who brings a specific prayer request(s)

• To provide a Prayer Focus Wall of  NA programs, individual churches and world situations for general/specific prayer support

Role of a Prayer Room Host:

• Simply be present in the room (on time and during the entire hour!)

• Welcome each person who comes

• Direct persons to the Prayer Focus Wall, daily schedule of prayer topics, communion

• Pray with/for specific prayer requests from individuals

• Maintain the prayerful atmosphere of the room

To Serve as a Prayer Room Host:

• Choose one hour during the meeting that you will commit to host the prayer room
  (Suggestion: Non-delegates, please consider times during business sessions when votes will be taken.)

• Email or call Kathy Sell, Director of Church Services, at ksell@naccc.org, or 1.800.262.1620, ext 21, with the hour you wish to serve as host

• Join in prayer NOW for the Annual Meeting, all participants and the prayer room

• Come to the prayer room in Kansas City and join your prayers to the glory of God!

After all, Jesus sets the standard:
 
“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask,
 it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.
 For where two or three have gathered together in My name,
I am there in their midst.”
                                                                    Matthew 18:19-20, NASB
 

Thank you for prayerfully considering this information.
May God bless your day!
