UMC.org provides Spiritual Prayer Support
Your schedule may be busier than ever, but with the new UMC.org, you can access spiritual support from the people of the United Methodist Church 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Through UMC.org, you can privately and conveniently submit a prayer request to the Upper Room Living Prayer Center and their Covenant Prayer Groups. 

Your prayer concern will be forwarded to one of 300 Upper Room Covenant Prayer Groups located all over the world, who will pray for your request for an additional 30 days.  More than 30,000 prayer requests are received each month.  To protect the privacy of those requesting prayer, each request is edited to remove any information that would identify the person or situation needing prayer.

Take a moment to view www.UMC.org or click PRAYER REQUEST to submit your prayer request.
