We believe that prayer is the heart of worship. In prayer, through the Holy Spirit, we seek after and are found by the one true God who has been revealed in Jesus Christ. We listen and wait upon God, call God by name, remember God's gracious acts, and offer ourselves to God. Prayer may be spoken, sung, offered in silence, or enacted. Prayer grows out of the center of our lives in response to the Spirit. Prayer is shaped by the Word of God in Scripture and by the life of the community of faith. Prayer issues in commitment to join God's work in the world.
In prayer we respond
to God in many ways, In adoration we praise God for who God is. In
thanksgiving we express gratitude for what God has done. In confession
we acknowledge repentance for what we as individuals and as a people
have done or left undone. In supplication we plead for ourselves and
the gathered community. In intercession we plead for others, on behalf
of others, and for the whole world. In self-dedication we offer
ourselves to the purpose and glory of God.
