Prayer requests

Prayer at LW

Prayer is at the very heart of Living Word and is foundational to being disciples of Jesus. We are dedicated to encountering Jesus together, so we create spaces for encountering God’s transforming presence through lingering prayer following each Sunday service and through our Living Word Prayer Room.

We want to help you learn to listen and commune with God and we are ready to come alongside you whenever you need prayer.

We invite you to:
  • Receive prayers for healing, blessing, and encouragement with someone from our prayer team on Sundays.
  • Share a prayer request via the digital prayer wall (below).
  • Step inside the building to spend time at our prayer wall.
  • Sense the peace of the prayer room, which is open for you whenever the building is open.

The Prayer Wall 

This work of art displays the collaborative efforts of York-based artists Patrick Sells and Cliff Meyer. It is created for personal, interactive use.

We invite you to write out your prayer, roll it like a scroll, and in simple faith, place it in one of the holes in the wall.

Your prayers are precious to Jesus, and to your church family. Our pastoral team will be regularly praying for these requests. 

The Prayer Room 

A quiet, contemplative space, designed with various seating options and an assortment of art. Open for personal reflection any time our building is open. You are welcome to enter and pray whenever you like.

Online Prayer Portal

Share a prayer request or praise with others at Living Word.

When submitting a prayer request, you are giving consent for the church to post information online. We reserve the right to edit content for readability, length, and privacy concerns.

Prayer requests may be submitted at any time, day or night, and are processed and posted upon review Monday through Thursday.
