God made a provision, a place in the desert for Moses and the Israelites to encounter his presence. In the Tent of Meeting, God met with Moses and spoke to him. This place of meeting reflected God’s desire to dwell with his people. And, today, this God who does not change, desires to an encounter with you.

God invites you to step out of your ordinary experience and meet with him wherever you are. God no longer dwells in places. He dwells by his Spirit in his people. And He tabernacles with you at home, at work, at play.

The prayer room in the Parish Center clock tower, one floor up from the children’s classrooms, is being refurbished. A modern-day tent of meeting, this room is consecrated as a special place to meet with God. It is a place for you to wait before the Lord, to pray, to listen, to rest, to cry, to be alone, or to pray with others. It is set apart as a place of encounter and a place of healing.

The prayer room is open to you when the building is open. Please just stop in the office when you visit to let Lois know you’re there. Please note that maximum capacity for the room is four.

Special thanks to Kathleen Martin for leading the refurbishing project and to David Coates for spending one very long, hot day painting the room. Thanks to Beth Swift for lending her sewing talents. And thanks to the Women’s Ministry for helping to fund the project. We’ll continue to add finishing touches in the coming weeks.

Please stop by during the week, or before or after a service, to see the room. Better yet, take some time to meet with the Lord in our tent of meeting. You will be blessed.
