Help Wording Prayer Booth Sign at Relay for Life
|
Hi Everyone,
Our church hosts the local Relay for Life each year on our grounds, but does not support it administatively or otherwise. This year we have an official booth/tent for our church and we'd like to offer prayer for anyone who wishes. We are thinking we'll have forms they can fill out, or they can submit on their mobile phones through our new prayer engine site. We will probably include an additional insert of these prayers at church next Sunday so the congregation can pray (everyone gets an announcements/prayer request sheet in the bulletin each week.)
My question is, what should the sign in the tent/booth say. We want to avoid being hokey, but we know prayer works and it is our privilege to pray for folks who want it. Some ideas:
"Prayer changes things! Submit prayer requests for you or your loved ones."
"How can we pray for you?"
Aaaand, that's all we have. Catchy, authentic ideas, anyone?
Can you help (by Tuesday or Wednesday 4/26-27 if possible)? Thanks!

Honestly, "how can we pray for/with you?" might work. However, for a banner these both seem a little wordy.
if it is ok for your banner to be long, you could come up with something more conversational along the lines of: Want someone to talk with? (pardon the dangling preposition!)
or if you simply labeled the tent "Care" you might reach without preaching and still be able to offer prayer.

What if it just said "Prayer booth" or "Free prayers" or something like that? Is that not capturing what you want to communicate?

Does it have to be so formal, with the filling out of forms? Are you trying to capture information, or lift up prayers?
Could you somehow add a graphic, three dimensional aspect? Could people write "Please pray for my dad Johnny who has lung cancer" on a heart shaped card and hang it with a binder clip on a clothes line? Or could your volunteers fold the prayer requests into origami hearts and display them in some way? www.origami-instructions.com/easy-origami-heart.html
