West York COB Prayer Line

What Is It? It is an avenue for ALL of us to use!

It is not for sharing prayer concerns, but for calling to hear what

prayer concerns have been shared. It is a recorded message that

Barb, our church secretary, updates a couple times a week to

keep the congregation informed of those who need prayer.

The number to call is 792-8816.

If you have a prayer concern to be added to the prayer line,

please call the church office.

God Bless You for Praying!
