Local church launches prayer initiative

Published

on

The First United Methodist Church of Bowie wants to involve the public and local churches in a commitment to pray daily for the personnel of Bowie Independent School District.
Pray for Team Bowie is an opportunity to express support for all employees who touch the lives of the town’s children daily.
This is a one-year school calendar commitment by a prayer partner to pray daily for the safety and well-being of public-school personnel.
Signing up is easy. Go to www.prayforteambowie.com to sign up as an individual to pray or as a local church to “partner up “with FUMC to help spread this ministry.
If you would like a hard copy of the sign-up form, please contact Cyndi at FUMC at 940-872-3384 or through email at infoatprayforteambowie.com for more information.
Kick-off for this prayer ministry will be on Nov. 28.
Members of FUMC personally delivered baskets to every employee of Bowie ISD to show their heartfelt appreciation for everyone.
Baskets were prayed over and lovingly made during a two-month time span.
FUMC is hopeful that this teacher prayer ministry will be shared and promoted by other churches of Bowie.
Organizers say let’s unite together as one community, one vision, one mission, one family and one prayer.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
