Numb3rs

I’ve never been much of a numbers person. They don’t fascinate me and rarely interest me. The following are a few numbers that do interest me these days: 500, 300, 62, 24, 1.

I know by now, you numbers people are dying to know what these numbers represent. Each month, volunteers in the Prayer Ministry send out roughly 500 Prayergrams. We receive more than 300 prayer requests each month. There are 62 plus wonderful volunteers currently serving in some way with the Prayer Ministry of Tallowood. Tallowood has a prayer line and website through which people can submit requests 24 hours a day. Many of the volunteers spend 1 hour each week in the prayer room, praying, writing Prayergrams and receiving phone calls from those in our community who need prayer. These are numbers for which I am grateful. If you have ever been curious about these particular numbers (Where do the Prayergrams come from? What is a Prayergram? We have a Prayer Line? We can submit requests online?), or if you would like to be a part of these numbers, I invite you to stop by the Prayer Ministry Offices Sunday, November 9th for our Open House. You won’t be just another numb3r.
