On June 4, members of Granby Congregational Church, United Church of Christ gathered to dedicate a prayer request box. Anyone may leave a request for prayer in one of the secure prayer request boxes located on both of the church’s campuses. Your request will be prayed by the minister and, if desired, lifted up by the congregation during the weekly worship service.

For many, prayer is a powerful means for connecting to the Divine, restoring inner peace and calming a troubled mind. Joining together in prayer builds community as we focus on the concerns and troubles of our neighbors.

Each of us can likely recall a time in life when our needs or problems felt overwhelming and beyond our own ability to alter. At those times, we are thankful for the person, perhaps unknown, who listened with care. As the saying goes, “A burden shared is a burden halved.”

At Granby Congregational Church, UCC, we are here if you need us. We welcome your prayers and your presence, whoever you are and wherever you are on life’s journey.
