Prayer at Bethany
Prayer is at the heart of our life together. Through prayer, we seek God's presence, listen for God's guidance, and place our celebrations, concerns, and hopes into God's loving hands.
Whether you're celebrating, grieving, seeking direction, or simply longing for a quiet moment with God, we invite you to pray with us.
Prayer Changes Lives
Jesus invites us to bring every part of our lives to God in prayer. As we pray together, God transforms our hearts, strengthens our faith, and guides us to live as Christ's disciples.
At Bethany, we believe prayer is both deeply personal and something we share together as a community of faith. We pray for healing, wisdom, peace, reconciliation, and God's will to be done in our lives, our church, our community, and our world.
Of all the Spiritual Disciplines prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father.
Sunday Evening Prayer Group
Sundays | 5:00 p.m. | Virtual
Each Sunday evening, a faithful group gathers virtually to pray for our congregation, our community, our nation, and our world. We begin by sharing celebrations and concerns before lifting them to God in prayer.
We gather to pray for mental and physical health concerns, family and relationship challenges, life transitions, our community, and the needs of our world.
Like Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, our deepest prayer is always, "Your will be done."
This gathering is open to anyone who desires to pray with others and believes in the power of prayer. You do not have to be a member of Bethany or of the United Methodist Church to participate. All are welcome.
The Zoom link is shared each week through Bethany's e-newsletter. If you're not already receiving it, we'd be happy to add you to our mailing list so you can stay connected with the life of the church and receive the weekly meeting link.
Prayer Room
Just inside the wooden doors of our church, you'll find Bethany's Prayer Room.
Our Prayer Room is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering a quiet and peaceful place to spend time with God whenever you need it. Whether you'd like to pray, read Scripture, reflect, or simply sit in God's presence, you are always welcome.
Whether it's early in the morning, late at night, or somewhere in between, our prayer room is here for anyone seeking peace, comfort, or a few moments of stillness with God.
Peace Pole
Outside our church stands a Peace Pole, a visible reminder of our prayer for peace in our community and throughout the world.
Inscribed with the words "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in multiple languages, the Peace Pole reflects our hope that God's love, reconciliation, and peace will guide our lives and relationships.
We invite you to pause, offer a prayer, and remember Christ's call to be peacemakers.
