Connect With Us Through Prayer!
At South Ridge, we are passionate about prayer! It is our vision to see people spiritually connected to each other through prayer.
We encourage you to...
Call the church office to connect with someone immediately for prayer: (908) 735-5252.
Submit a prayer request for the Prayer Wall, which exists to connect anyone in the congregation and community through prayer. To respect people’s personal information, it is necessary for you to have the permission of the person we are praying for before submitting a prayer request.
To protect confidentiality, we will post on the Prayer Wall using initials only; God knows who it is!
ePrayer
Periodically, the church office will communicate emergency prayer requests for attendees, members, and their immediate family members through ePrayer updates. While the Prayer Wall exists for every kind of prayer request in the congregation and beyond, the purpose of ePrayer is to strengthen the spiritual bonds within the SR family.
While we understand that these prayer requests are on the internet, and that ePrayer is sent to many people, we ask that you do not repost these updates to social media sites. Many of these updates are of a sensitive nature, and keeping the updates within our SR Family protects the privacy of those involved as best as we can. We love the heart for prayer that so many of you have! We thank you for your faithful prayers. “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)

AUGUST 10
Please pray for five-year-old CW, daughter of K and JW. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with a chronic hereditary anemia called hereditary spherocytosis. Over the past year, her symptoms have progressively gotten worse and she’s needed a blood transfusion about every 1.5-2 months. The specialist is now recommending that they have her spleen and gall bladder removed. The spleen removal is anticipated to slow the destruction of her red blood cells, and the best case would be that the need for regular transfusion would be eliminated. The surgery is scheduled for Monday, August 11. The family would appreciate prayers for protection, healing, and peace for CW and her parents. Please pray that God would guide the surgeon's hands and that the recovery would be quick and smooth. Thank you so much for praying!

The family is very concerned about another surgical procedure at his advanced age. Please pray for a successful procedure, for the right treatments, and for a smooth, complication-free recovery. Thank you so much for praying!
