Chain of Prayer
United? YES!
The annual Chain of Prayer begins January 1 and continues through Pentecost Sunday, May 11, 2008. Meetings in North America, Africa, Cuba, Jamaica, Ramallah and Belize make a "Chain of Prayer" by signing up for a day to pray for the ministries of FUM as well as its member monthly meetings. Some meetings have special prayer gatherings, others ask individuals to sign up for half-hour time slots and many take up a special offering for the ministries of Friends United Meeting. Without your prayer and financial support, FUM could not carry out its mission to energize and equip Friends around the world.
In order for your Meeting to participate, complete and submit the online registration form. You may also print this form and mail to Chain of Prayer, Friends United Meeting, 101 Quaker Hill Drive, Richmond IN 47374. The registration form includes space for a short description of your meeting and a few prayer concerns. If possible, please respond in November. (Example:If you want a January date, we will need your form by December 1.) We will confirm your time soon after we receive your request.
A month or more before your day on the Chain of Prayer, we will send your Meeting publicity materials (the poster and bulletin insert/table flyer can be personalized for your day), information on the Meeting for which you will be praying, and some prayer concerns from FUM's ministries.
