Special Announcements
of the
******
Prayer Chain - Changes Have Arrived!
Those of you who are on the Prayer Chain are now getting notices of prayer chain requests via an auto-dialer. Once the Prayer Chain call is triggered all persons on the Prayer Chain receive the same call from the auto-dialer. This means you can begin to pray about the matter and YOU DO NOT have to be concerned about having to call someone else. The auto-dialer calls all persons listed on the Prayer Chain with the same message, leaving the message on your answering machine or voice mail, or continuing to call you if there is no answer. This will all be done automatically after the initial call is placed to start the Prayer Chain. There is also capability to spread the word via email and text-messaging via this service, but for now we will focus on the voice features of the service. Let us know if you want to be added or removed from the Prayer Chain, or if you have comments regarding how this is working once this change takes effect. Also note the link on our Home Page of this website (just above the weather at the bottom of the page) that permits you to access the latest auto-dialer phone message via your computer.

You can experience some of life in and around “Stanton
(Powell County), KY” without actually being here by following links on our
homepage! Do you have friends or family that live far away from the
Stanton, KY area that would enjoy a “virtual visit”? Perhaps you are a
resident of Powell County and attend the Church, and something has called you
away (such as work or vacation). You can “visit” the area anytime via the
web – you can “catch up on the local news” in the Clay City Times, or take the
links listed for scenic attractions nearby in the Red River Gorge Geological
Area of the Daniel Boone National Forest, Natural Bridge State Park, or visit
the Powell County Schools website. You can also catch up on the latest
happenings regarding the Powell County Christians United Against Drugs effort
and news items related to the Powell County Ministerial Association. All these links can be found on our
Homepage – so enjoy your visit and come “see us” anytime/anywhere you may be!
We’d love to hear from you, and we hope this website will be a blessing to you
and help you.

DO YOU HAVE PRAYER NEEDS?
God loves us and cares
about us more than we can know. He wants us to love him in return and talk
to him about the things of concern to us. Look at these verses from God's
word with regard to our prayers to Him: "if my people, who are called by
my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will
heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
"He will respond to the prayer of the destitute;
he will not despise their plea." Psalms 102:17
"If you believe, you will receive whatever you
ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to
God." Phillipians 4:6
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is
powerful and effective." James 5:16
Jesus, speaking to his
disciples about prayer said in Matthew 6:
verse 6
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,
who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward
you.
7 And when you pray, do not keep
on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many
words.
8 Do not be like them, for your
Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 "This, then, is how you should
pray: "`Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come, your will
be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily
bread.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we
also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. '
14 For if you forgive men when
they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
and in Luke 11:1 One day
Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples
said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
2 He said to them,
"When you pray, say: "`Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily
bread.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we
also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation." 5 Then he said to them,
"Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says,
`Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 because a friend of mine on a
journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'
7 "Then the one inside answers,
`Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in
bed. I can't get up and give you anything.'
8 I tell you, though he will not
get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's
boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
9 "So I say to you: Ask and it
will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened
to you.
10 For everyone who asks
receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 11
"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake
instead?
12 Or if he asks for an egg,
will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, though you are
evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
If you have a special
prayer need, we want you to know that we care about you and your needs. We
will lift your need in prayer if you wish to share it with us. Feel free
