Parent Lead Prayer Gathering

Dear School Families:

Please see Kathy Crooker's note regarding lifting our school, students and families up in prayer!

“Pour out your heart like water before the presence of the Lord! Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children,” Lamentations 2:19

In the spirit of Stormie Omartian’s book The Power of a Praying Parent, we would like to invite you to join with Milford Christian Academy in holding up our children in prayer throughout the coming school year. Our goal is two fold: 1) to daily cover our school family against the wiles of the devil, and 2) to be available to pray for specific prayers brought forward by the students and staff each day.

We would like to set our prayer time up from 8:00 to 8:30 AM each day as a parent led prayer gathering at the school. (The room is yet to be determined.) We are looking for one parent (or grandparent) for each day of the week willing to be a prayer facilitator for ½ hour – thus making prayer time available every day for our families. The hope is that parents will come in when they are dropping off their children in the morning and spend anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes praying for their children and their teachers at least one morning each week. Having time available each day also makes it possible for you as parents to have a choice as to when during the week would best fit your schedules.

If you would be interested in covering one day a week for ½ hour as a prayer facilitator please contact Kathy Crooker (603-880-4077) or e-mail at ctribe6@juno.com and please pray that the Lord would raise up a powerful prayer team for our children.
“All that needs to happen in our lives and the lives of our children cannot happen without the presence and power of God. Prayer invites and ignites both.” Stormie Omartian, from The power of a praying Parent.

Blessings,

Mrs. Lockwood
