Altar Prayer Ministry

Altar Prayer Ministry is a way to turn your gifts of mercy and compassion into the loving hands of God. The pastors open the altar at the end of each service, and Altar Prayer Ministers are available to receive and pray for those who have a celebration for which they want to praise God for or for those who have a specific need and want to lift their petitions to the Lord. Training is available and the members meet periodically during the year to share praises and encouragement.

Communion Outreach Ministry

You can represent the presence of Christ for the homebound members of our church. Sugar Land Methodist is reviving the Communion Outreach ministry. This ministry is members serving members communion once a month. If you can commit to taking communion to those who cannot attend worship because of hardship or illness, we would love for you to join our team.

For the Least of These

Does your heart break for the things that break the heart of God? Do you believe prayer can change the world? Join this new, monthly prayer group as we examine the pain and suffering of the poorest nations on earth, lift them up in prayer and seek God's call for action. For more information contact Janet Marasek at jlmarase [at] hotmail [dot] com or 281.313.2279.

Intercessory Prayer

Members of the Intercessory Prayer Ministry pray over the prayer requests received from our church family and guests every day. Members set their time according to their individual schedules, whether once a month or once a week. The faithfulness of God and His awesome power are revealed as answers to prayer are received.

Mission Prayer Ministry

Several times a year, Sugar Land Methodist participates in mission trips to Guatemala, Mexico, and locations in the United States and around the world. The Mission Prayer Ministry matches missionaries with prayer partners who pray for them throughout the duration of their trip. The names of the missionaries are placed on paper doves and hung on a “Dove Tree”. The congregation is encouraged to select a dove and pray for that missionary during his or her trip.

Pastor's Prayer Partners

Pastor’s Prayer Partners are committed to keeping our pastors, and thereby our church, lifted up in prayer daily. Prayer Partners also pray during each worship service for the Spirit of God to speak through our pastors and move through our congregation in a mighty way. At retreats, we pray together and share how prayer has affected our lives and the life of our church. This is the perfect place to learn how to begin a life of prayer or to enhance an active prayer life.
