THESE PRAYER FLAGS

CELEBRATE UNITY IN

OUR COMMUNITY

First Church Des Plaines is collecting prayers from the community.

This summer, we aim to gather people from all corners of our community who show care for their neighbors and are actively pursuing peace. As people of faith, we often express ourselves in prayer. Prayer is a sacred practice of many different religions and cultures.

Our goal is to create a setting for our community, with its many different backgrounds, to come together and pray.

Flags are a symbolic way for

people to offer prayers to the

Divine. Write your prayers on

fabric flags for display at

668 Graceland this summer, courtesy of First Church Des Plaines.

Every week, our congregation members will gather under the flags

to pray for God to listen to the prayers of our community.

Fall is a season that draws us home. We return to schedules and routines, building upon what we have learned and done and preparing for what is ahead. During the month of September at First Church, we will explore the roots of our specific Christian Tradition.

As a United Methodist Church, we are part of a tradition established by two brothers, John and Charles Wesley. We will consider some of the unique gifts that the methodist tradition has contributed to the broader Christian Church and how to share these gifts with our community.

Join us Sundays at 10am as we return to our roots and the grounding of our faith tradition.

September 1: Grow Deeply

September 8: Read Faithfully

September 15: Love Actively

September 22: Embrace Widely

September 29: Serve Impactfully

We pray.

Each week, our prayer circle comes together to uplift the needs of those we know, and those we don’t. If you would like us to include you –and we would like to include you – use the QR code to let us know.

Your contact is confidential.

If you believe you need more than prayer support, our Pastor invites you to come in, meet her, and have a heart-to-heart. You’ll like her; she’s a good listener.

We are all lost sheep. We are finding our way. We can do this together.
