Join Us In 52 Weeks Of Prayer

Each week during our prayer time we will highlight a specific group in our community (local law enforcement, schools, hospitals, military, government leaders, foster care/DCS, farmers, missionaries, etc.) as is an intentional way for our congregation to remain prayerful, outwardly focused, and unified as we intercede for our community and beyond.

This week in our 52-Week Prayer Focus, we are lifting up one of the missionaries and mission organizations we support. We are grateful for the ways God is working not just in our community, but around the world—through people and ministries faithfully serving in His name.

This week, we are praying for Lawrence Fire Department.

The Lawrence Fire Department, led by Fire Chief Bob Wallace, faithfully serves the City of Lawrence from five fire stations strategically located throughout the community:
  • Station 36 – Fort Benjamin Harrison
  • Station 37 – Central Lawrence
  • Station 38 – Pendleton Pike Corridor
  • Station 39 – Oaklandon
  • Station 40 – Geist Area

From these stations, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and support staff respond to fires, medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents, rescue operations, and countless other emergencies every day. In addition to emergency response, they are committed to fire prevention, public education, and serving the Lawrence community with professionalism and compassion.

These first responders answer the call during some of life's most difficult moments. Whether responding to a medical emergency, rescuing someone from a vehicle accident, or protecting homes and businesses from fire, they faithfully serve with courage, professionalism, and compassion.

As followers of Christ, we have the privilege of praying for those who sacrificially serve and protect others every day.

"Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2
