2024 PRESBYTERY PRAYER PARTNERS

The Presbytery of Ohio Valley encourages all our congregations to pray for each other over a two-year span. Sharing prayers with each other works! Here's how you can help:

By the tenth of the month preceding the month for your church, please send a paragraph or two telling a little about your church or organization — size and activities, location and neighborhood, special programs, history, and anything else that would help others in the presbytery get a better sense of who and where you are.

Also send us any joys you'd like to share or prayer requests for your church activities or programs. If your church is in a parish, we'd also appreciate information on the benefits you feel parish membership has brought to the parish churches.

Email your information to office@presbyteryov.org Call 866-344-7853 for more information.
