PRAYER WALKING is defined as “praying on-site with insight.”

Prayer walking around our community’s schools helps us to draw near to those for whom we pray. It focuses our prayer. Prayer walking helps us to reach out to our community in mission and prayer.

6 major components of Prayer Walking:

  • Join with Other Believers (First UMC-Denton)
  • Set Aside Time (the Sunday in August prior to the 1st day of classes for Denton ISD)
  • Choose an Area of Focus (Denton & Surrounding Schools and Universities)
  • Pray with Insight (Prayer Cards Provided with Specific Prayers)
  • Focus on God (This is not a political statement on the subject of prayer in schools. This is an opportunity to lift up our administrators, teachers, support staff and students in prayer)
  • Drop comment cards at the First UMC-Denton church office.
