Prayer is central to our relationship with God. As followers of Jesus, we have a direct connection with the Holy Spirit that lets us communicate our hearts to him— and hear his heart for us and others—bringing hope and healing to the world. We are also invited to simply be with God in ongoing communion, anywhere and at at time. At CTK, there are a number of opportunities to pray, be prayed for, or grow in your practice of prayer.
We have partnered with 24-7 Prayer, a global prayer movement that provides free prayer resources and guides for the Church. If you want to learn more about 24-7 Prayer or use some of their resources, go to 24-7prayer.com.
Prayer Requests
If there’s a situation you’d like people to pray for, we have a team of volunteers who do that every week based on requests we receive. You can submit your request at Reception on weekends and during office hours, or online (below).
Praying with Our Feet this Summer
This summer, we’re praying on the move, bringing God’s Kingdom of love, justice, and peace wherever we go in Whatcom County and beyond. Filled with the Holy Spirit, we can carry his presence into everyday places, blessing people and partnering with him in his restorative Kingdom work. Whether you're at the park, harvesting beans at the CTK Farm, or camping with friends—take the opportunity to pray!
3 Ways to Pray with Your Feet...
Pray As You Walk
Get to your feet and prayer walk around your neighborhood, park, school, city—anywhere you know needs God's presence! Use the Holy Here app (holyhere.com) to encourage, inspire, and see where others are prayer walking. To learn more about prayer walking and have a chance to practice with others, come to one of these Prayer Walking Workshops (there will be options to pray seated for people with limited mobility).
Sunday, June 29 • 1:00–3:00 PM with lunch or Saturday, July 12 • 10 AM–Noon with snacks

Pray As You Serve
We have many opportunities to serve our community this summer through Response Teams and the CTK Farm, and we believe our prayers can take our work even further. So whether you're painting, cleaning windows, or pulling weeds, pray as you put your faith into action!
Pray As You Go
Taking a vacation? Bless the new people you meet. Going to the baseball game? Bless the concession worker. Stay-cationing? Bless your neighbor. Working long hours? Bless your boss. Hiking with friends? Bless who you walk past. You get the idea—pray wherever you go!
Blessing Prayer
Wondering how to pray? Here are 4 simple steps:
1. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how he is already working in the people and place
2. Listen for his response
3. Bless the people and good that you see in the place you are in and ask for more
4. Thank God for all he is doing
