We will be using a variety of electronic and downloadable print media to order this season of prayer. In particular, some of the prayers will appear in a special edition of The Upper Room devotional. An exciting, new development is that people can also sign up via SMS to get the prayers sent to their phones. To sign up, text “pray40″ to 41411. Our desire is to have as many communities and members of the United Methodist Church to participate in this season as possible. Please help us by spreading the word about Pray 40 to your church, local Sunday School classes, campus ministries, agencies, and circles of influence.
