PRAYER TEAM
Our Prayer Team is the underground force moving and sustaining the momentum of Aurelia.
Very active both during the week and throughout the weekend, we care for the prayer requests
of the community. Sometimes we’re the first people to walk someone through  becoming a committed follower of Christ. This is important work! At the start of each week, our Care Ministry sends prayer requests they have received to members of our Prayer Team via email. Those on the team can also volunteer to meet with individuals who schedule personal prayer appointments at the church, pray for our services in our Prayer Chapel on the weekend, or be available for prayer after each of our weekend services.
