Visitors wishing to keep their prayers private will be able to share them by writing messages on a piece of paper and concealing them within the cracks of the stones.Phil Kearns / Contributed photoShow MoreShow Less
Community Prayer Wall to be Installed Along Main Street at King Lane Written by Heidi C. Yeranossian
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID pandemic, Jesse Lee Church is reaching out to Ridgefield and the surrounding community by creating a Prayer Wall that will be installed along Main Street at King Lane from May 16 – May 30. Anyone who wants to post their prayers on or in the Prayer Wall during these two weeks is welcome to. This prayer wall is for the whole community.
The top half of the wall will be a giant chalkboard where people can publicly share their prayer requests. The base will be a faux stone wall with places to insert private prayers. The Prayer Ministry at Jesse Lee will record and collect all prayer requests. Private prayers inserted in the wall will not be read by anyone but will remain folded and confidential.
