DESCRIPTION:On Christmas Eve morning\, before the sanctuary fills for candl
 elight worship\, you’re invited to come pray over the pews.\nJoin us any
 time between 10 AM and noon on Thursday\, December 24. Walk through the sa
 nctuary\, pause at a pew\, and offer a prayer for whoever will sit there t
 hat night: a longtime member\, a first-time guest\, someone you know well 
 or a stranger you’ll never meet. Come and go as you’re able. No RSVP\,
  no program\, just an open sanctuary and time to pray.\nA short prayer pro
 mpt card will be available at the entrance for anyone who wants a guide\, 
 though praying in your own words is just as welcome.\nThis is new for our 
 church this year: a quiet way to prepare the space\, and the people who wi
 ll fill it\, before we gather for candlelight worship at 7:00 PM and 11:00
  PM that evening. Christmas Eve is our largest worship night of the year\,
  and many who walk through our doors that night will be visitors. Praying 
 over an empty pew now is one way to welcome them before they ever arrive.\
 nAll are welcome to spend a few minutes or the whole two hours. Questions?
  Contact the church office at hello@mcphersonfirst.org or 620-241-3626.
