At Syndal we offer a number of opportunities to request and receive prayer. We have a prayer ministry where you can submit a written prayer request or schedule a time to be prayed for by a small group of committed pray-ers. We also have a 'Prayers and Squares' ministry, where quilts can be requested for people facing difficult circumstance. The patchwork quilts are created and prayed over by the group and the wider church.
