We hope you received the letter introducing FPC’s Ribbons of Prayer Ministry.  We are really excited about this ministry.

How it works:

• You should have received a piece of ribbon in the mail. If not, please contact Kelly Hickey.
• You are encouraged to write a prayer on the ribbon using a permanent marker.
• Once your prayer ribbon is returned, it will be hung outside the church and lifted to the Lord.

Returning the ribbon: There are three ways you can return your prayer ribbon.

• A drive through ribbon drop off scheduled for –Tuesday, August 11 from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm Wednesday, August 12 from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Tuesday, August 18 from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm      Drive under the awning at the Preschool entrance. We will be there to greet you and will pray for you and your family.
• Return your prayer ribbon by mailing it to the church –

In addition, “Ribbons of Prayer” stations are set up in the Fellowship Hall for anyone who would like to come in and write more prayers.  The hours are Monday – Thursday from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm and Friday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. Instructions are located on an easel when you enter the Fellowship Hall.  The requirements for utilizing the “Ribbons of Prayer” stations:

• You must wear a mask in the church.
• You must also wipe your hands with hand sanitizer once you enter the building. (Hand sanitizer will be provided at the table when you walk in.)
• You must wear gloves when writing the prayer ribbons. (Gloves will be provided).

We look forward to witnessing how this outreach will bind us together, make us stronger, and provide an opportunity to pray without ceasing.
