Lifelines of Prayer
Prayer has always been an important part of First Lutheran’s ministry. It is the vertical path that takes us directly to our Lord and Savior. As such, we wish to use this gift more fully here at First Lutheran. This has been prayed for, discussed and prayed for some more. We now have a prayer ministry that will be lifting up in prayer our pastors and their families, our staff, our ministries, our congregation, First Lutheran’s prayer list and any special concerns that our congregation may have. We will gather every fourth Monday (except for May, it will be the third Monday) at First Lutheran from 7-7:30 p.m. to pray for special concerns. This will be an open gathering, and everyone is welcome to join us. If there are private concerns that you might be hesitant about, Pastor Arthur will be available. If you sense that God is calling you to prayer ministry and you would like to be a part of the prayer ministry team at First, please contact Jim & Lynn Shaw at 309-912-4315 (shawlj@nbsmail.net) or Jim Larson at 944-6931.

Prayer is an integral part of spirituality and faith at First Lutheran Church. We pray for God's guidance and direction, for healing and wholeness, and for peace and enduring faith. Our congregation prays daily for the needs of its members and for those around us. Submitted prayers will be kept on our prayer list for 2 weeks and may be renewed. If you would like to add a prayer to our prayer chain please call the church office at 309-944-3196 or e-mail at
