Prayer Walking in FUMC-Denton is good for our mission and ministry and your body and soul.
Prayer walking intensifies the connection between body and the soul by walking and praying at the same time. To walk in the church building is a way to practice intercessory prayer for the mission and ministries that take place in the building and in our outreach to this community and to our country and world. While you may begin your prayer walk with devotional prayer, prayer walking becomes your active intercession on behalf of FUMC we serve others through Godís love and grace.
