Prayer Ministry Adds Prayer Wall to Website
EFFECTIVE SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 2ND
Our prayer ministry has a new tool to share joys and concerns through a prayer wall on our website. This new Prayer Wall will replace the current email hrcprayer@hrcrca.org as well as the link Submit a Prayer Request on our main web page at www.hrcrca.org
The prayer wall will be accessible via our webpage at www.hrcrca.org
Use the Prayer Wall link located in the Quicklinks on the right side of the page.
Once you are on the Prayer Wall, you will see all the prayer requests that others have made. You are encouraged to pray for these concerns.
ENTERING A PRAYER REQUEST:
Go to our website www.hrcrca.org and click on the PRAYER WALL Quicklink
Simply click on the red button "SHARE YOUR PRAYER REQUEST" and a form will open.
- NAME: Enter the name of the person for whom you are asking prayers -OR- Enter the topic of the prayer request.
- EMAIL: (required field) Enter the email of the person you entered in NAME if known, or enter your email address. This email address is not shared and will be used to update the owner of the email address that some one has prayed for them.
- PHONE: (Optional) in case moderator needs clarification

- Selecting Please...SHARE THIS will post your request on the wall after it is seen by a moderator. It will show the name entered (from NAME above) and the prayer request only. Email addreesses are not shared.

These warriors include the pastors and discreet members known by them. No one else will know of your prayer request, it will not appear on the wall, and will be held in the strictest of confidences. AGAIN, YOUR REQUEST WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE WALL

We encourage you to seek permission before posting prayers when appropriate. Without permission, you should keep names and details to an absolute minimum. Do not embellish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I SEE THERE IS A BUTTON LABELED 'I PRAYED FOR THIS' WHAT IS THIS?
You are encouraged to visit the prayer wall regularly to pray for the concerns posted here. Once you have prayed for a concern, you can click on the button and an email will be sent to the email address that was entered when the post was created. The email will simply state :
"This is a quick email to let you know that someone has just prayed for your prayer request!
This is an automated notification sent from www.hrcrca.org. Please do not respond to this email, as this account is not monitored."
YOU MENTION "MODERATORS." WHO ARE THEY and WHAT DO THEY DO?
The moderators are Pam Hanson Coordinator of Care; Carol O'Malley - Prayer Team Leader; Birgit Chisholm- Church Administrator; Sheryle Silvern - Children's Ministry Coordinator. The primary moderators are Pam and Carol. Birgit and Sheryle will serve in a substitute capacity.
Carol leads a prayer group called the Power Hour Prayer Team that meets every Thursday to pray earnestly for all prayer concerns of our church as well as any others who may request it. For more information on PHPT please contact Carol at dcomalley@optonline.net.
All requests placed on our wall require a moderator to review them before they are published. This will ensure that requests are not spam, or hateful, and are adhering to the standards of confidentiality. Moderators have the ability to reject or modify any prayer request at their discretion.
IS THIS PRAYER WALL FOR HRC MEMBERS ONLY?
No. Whether a member or not, please feel free to enter prayer requests on your behalf or on the behalf of others
