Prayer and Care at Connections

Caring for each other spiritually, physically and emotionally

The church is called to pray for, and care for, one another. In Acts 2:41 the early church “devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” This calling not only includes caring for each other spiritually, but also to caring, as we are able, for physical and emotional needs.

Connections pastors and deacons are available for visitation, prayer and consultation. We encouraged you to reach out in cases where there are spiritual or physical emergencies and acute needs- we might just be able to help!

 

How Can We Pray For You?

How does it work?

How does congregational care work at at Connections Church?

At Connections we encourage each person to become a member of a small group where the caring described in Acts 2:41-47 can occur. People in a small group are more aware of each other’s needs and are therefore in an excellent position to encourage, support and pray for each other, an, as we are able, for physical and emotional needs.

In addition to small groups, our pastors and deacons are available for visitation, prayer and consultation. You are encouraged to reach out to one of these people in cases where there are spiritual or physical emergencies and acute needs.

What about short term needs?

What if I need short-term help with meals while I recover from a birth, health issue, or the loss of a loved one?

Often these needs will be met by those in your small group. However, if your need is more extensive or you do not belong to a small group, please reach out to Kim Crane in the office and she will assist in coordinating meals with the congregation. You can contact her during office hours (Tuesday through Thursday) at (303) 791-2143.

What about more chronic needs?

What if my need is chronic or beyond the capabilities of Connections?

Connections partners with two organizations that can help with more chronic or complex needs. First, Connections is a host site for Pastoral Counseling of Denver (PCD Counseling). PCD offers counseling to individuals, couples and families that is both spiritually sensitive and clinically informed. Connections has financial arrangements for initial consultations with PCD and PCD works with a variety of financial situations, including working with your insurance company if coverage exists.

Second, Connections works with Volunteers in Action (VIA), a cooperative ministry of area churches, whose goal is to enhance the lives of people who are elderly, disabled, or low income. VIA also helps people by walking alongside them in specific and caring ways.

What if I have a financial need?

Where can I get help with an immediate financial need?

Connections maintains a benevolence fund to assist church members and others in the community with immediate financial needs. If you have an immediate financial need, please contact one of the deacons for assistance. As with all requests for care, these requests will be kept confidential unless you ask that your needs be made more broadly known.

Where do I turn for prayer?

I would like people to pray for me—where do I turn?

We encourage that you pray with those in your small group. Additionally, if you have a prayer request and would like the prayer team to specifically lift up your needs, contact them at prayer@myconnections.church. Prayers submitted to the prayer team will be kept confidential unless you tell them that they may make your request known more broadly.

Please reach out when you have a need or know of others who may need help. Connections is ready and willing to provide care to the congregation, but we may not be aware of a need if we don’t hear from you. We invite you to help us be a body of believers that demonstrates the love of Christ both within and outside of our congregation.
