New Prayer Focus Coming in 2025

Prayer Ministries invites and challenges every member in UCC to participate in a growing experience with Jesus called, "Grounded and Growing Vertically."  We will spend the first 18 days of the year praying. They February 1-13 we will be reading through Steps to Christ & then the book -- one chapter each evening. A group is also going through the book, Prayer, weekly on Friday nights, through the rest of year.

Both books are by Ellen G. White and will fill you with amazing ideas on prayer and growth throughout the year. Along with these book challenges, we invite you to pray for Pentecost 2025 (see below). We will keep this list in our current prayer focus on a weekly basis! Watch for a new page here called "Grounded and Growing Vertically 2025"

Prayer Blanket Ministry

This is a new ministry operated by UCC Prayer Ministries. We invite you to create prayer blankets to give out to people you are praying for. UCC Prayer Ministries is accepting applications for up to 15 churches to receive funds to begin this ministry.

Here are tutorials for both making them and how to give them at a personal prayer session.
