Intercessory Prayer Ministry of Trinity Episcopal Church

For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:9-11

Since February of 2003, Trinity’s Intercessory Prayer Ministry has built community by:

Praying for Trinity’s rector and mission, the church, our families and friends, and all people we encounter as we strive to provide a ministry of life, hope and healing to others. 

Facilitating spiritual formation and growth through life transforming seminars and small group events.

Extending Trinity’s pastoral care ministry outside church walls by visiting Trinity’s sick and shut-in members to share Holy Communion and pray.

Conducting Healing Services for those afflicted in spirit, mind, and/or body.

Healing Services

The ministry of Jesus invites us to new life in God and with each other. In following the example of Jesus and the disciples, we continue God’s work of healing through prayer in his name and the laying on of hands. 

Trinity’s Intercessory Prayer Ministry conducts healing services (based on the liturgy found in the Episcopal Book of Occasional Services) on the third Sunday of every other month in Trinity’s Chapel following the 10:30 a.m. Sunday service.  All are welcome. 

If you desire prayer but cannot or choose not to attend, please contact Edna Keith, Vestry Liaison for Inreach, by sending an email to the church office at info@tecarl.org.

Spiritual Formation & Growth Seminars

Spiritual formation and growth seminars are for all wishing to open their lives to a deepening relationship with God and others. Seminars meet in Trinity’s Chapel, every other month, typically on the second or third Sunday, following the 10:30 a.m. service.  Sessions will begin at 12:00 noon and end by 1:30 p.m.  Information on current offerings follows.

The Way of Blessedness

Facilitator – Joy Warburton

What does it mean to experience God’s blessedness as Jesus understood it? Jesus portrays the reign of God in terms that are contrary to social hierarchy -- in his time as well as our own. It is a realm of outlandish generosity and uncommon compassion. This study, from the Companions in Christ series, guides participants along a path that offers clarity to our way of life and the very life of God’s kingdom.

            Introduction to a new study

Journeying With Purpose:

A Weekly Search to Discover God’s Purpose for Your Life

Facilitator:  The Rev. Kim L. Coleman

"It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ,...he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.”                                                            Ephesians 1:11

Believers and seekers alike want to know “what on earth am I here for?”  The Intercessory Prayer Group offers this series for all who want to discover God’s purpose for your life as well as understand more about the big picture.

Based on Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose-Driven Life, this multi-week adventure uncovers a manifesto for 21^st century Christian living arising from eternal purposes, not cultural values.  Through biblical stories and scripture, participants will engage Warren’s understanding of God’s 5 purposes for each of us:

We were planned for God’s pleasure, so our first purpose is to offer real worship.

We were formed for God’s family, so our second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.

We were created to become like Christ, so our third purpose is to learn real discipleship

We were shaped for serving God, so our fourth purpose is to practice real ministry. 

We were made for a mission, so our fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism.

Classes are held on Sundays in Trinity’s Chapel from 9:15-10:15 am beginning Sunday October 3, 2004 through Sunday, April 24, 2005.  The cost of $20.00 covers the purchase of Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life.  Scholarships are available.  For a detailed schedule of classes and topics, contact the church office at 703/920-7077 or info@tecarl.org.
