Prayer


Redeemer Prayer Walk for the City, Saturday, June 7 (and the whole month of June)

All are invited to participate in the Annual City-Wide Prayer Walk on Saturday, June 7! Redeemer is joining other churches participating in prayer walks throughout all the boroughs of NYC.

To join, ask your Fellowship Group and friends to pray in groups as they walk in their neighborhood of choice on June 7. Then, register by emailing prayer@redeemer.com with the zip code(s) of the neighborhood you will be prayer-walking.

When you register, you will receive an electronic guide on prayer-walking and more info. If June 7 is not a good date, any other day in June will work (it is prayer walk month) - but, if you do walk on June 7, you can also join the multi-denominational Ice Cream Social on the same day.

Prayer walking is one way to become much more aware of your neighborhood and the individuals who live there. It's an interactive experience that feeds your petitions for the City and its restoration. And it's not nearly as awkward as it sounds at first!

"When a man is born from above, the life of the Son of God is born in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish it. Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished. Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself."

Oswald Chambers
