Prayer Needs

We maintain an email list for prayer concerns to be forwarded to the congregation, as well as an online prayer needs page. You may choose to keep your request private and only inform the ministry staff or publish them through email and bulletins.

If you would like to talk more about prayer and what it means, or have questions about prayer please contact our ministers , John Michael Jones, Joe Elliott or Felicia Kumar.


"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6

Prayer Ministry

“Sweet Hour of Prayer! Sweet Hour of Prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, Sweet Hour of Prayer!
Everyone is urged and encouraged to be a part of one of the three Prayer Groups that will begin in January, 2010. There’s an early morning prayer time on Tuesday from 7:15-7:45; then there’s a late morning prayer time on Friday from 11:00-11:45 am. Then for those who cannot attend the day time prayer groups, there’s an evening prayer time on Tuesday from 7:00-7:45. If you would like to be a part of one of these groups, please email Felicia Kumar at felicia.kumar@smyrnafirstumc.org or call her at 459-2826, extension 13. Indeed, we believe in the power of prayer. Prayer groups will begin on Tuesday, January 11, 2010. Please make a prayerful commitment to join a prayer group!
