Intercessors
Northwood wants to be a church committed to being on its knees before God. Our Intercessors receive a weekly email update with current prayer requests. Submit your prayer request on the Get Connected tab of this website or on your information card during Sunday Worship services. All prayer requests remain confidential.
Resources
We now have many books on prayer in our Lending Library. If you are interested in prayer or want to learn more about praying, there are some good resources on this table. Please feel free to browse and check out one or more books to take home to read.
Prayer Point
Prayer is a vital part in the life of every church and Christian. Here at Northwood, we offer a way to emphasize the importance of prayer in each worship service. A ministry called Prayer Point is designated by a Prayer Point banner in the worship area. Prayer Point is staffed with prayer partners at the end of each service and a quiet area to pray. Anyone desiring prayer or an opportunity to share a praise is encouraged to join our prayer partners at Prayer Point.
