We all need prayer. We need to pray, and we need to be prayed for. The Bible even urges us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17). Prayer is a critical component of our relationship with Jesus Christ. As others have noted, prayer is the backbone of the Church, and at Covenant we take it very seriously. Prayer is an integral part of our worship services, Sunday School classes, and small groups. There are even some groups that meet during the week specifically for the purpose of praying. Here are some of our important parts of Covenant's overall prayer ministry.
