How can we meet your prayer needs?
Below is a list of opportunities to come together in prayer. We invite you to explore them and join us in lifting our hearts in unity.
SUNDAY MORNING
At Friendswood Methodist Church, we dedicate time during our Sunday morning services for prayer. During this time, you are welcome to pray at the altar or join a member of our Prayer Ministry team. Look for individuals wearing name tags with a yellow stripe—these team members are available to pray with you. On Communion Sundays, they are stationed at the altar, offering prayer support. For more information about our Prayer Ministry, how we serve, and how to get involved, please email prayerteam@friendswoodmethodist.org.
