Have you ever been in a desperate situation and needed someone to encourage you through prayer?  Have you ever been thankful for an answered prayer?  Have you ever been a part of a group that encourages and lifts each other in prayer?  YOU are invited to be a part of the prayer chain at Northbrook.  It is so simple and requires little time.  Contact me at julieturner@mindspring.com and let me know you want to be added to our group and you will receive perhaps one or two emails per week with prayer requests.  As soon as you receive one, take a few minutes to pray for this person or situation.  It will be a blessing to you and others.
