Wedgwood Women allowed to pray in church?

By Pastor James Harleman

That’s right, it’s official. Women can pray. No, really. This might come as a surprise to some, but it’s true.

Actually, anyone who’s been around Mars Hill Church longer than five minutes and has read more than someone else’s critical blog knows that women at MHC are well loved and function in ministry as our congregation lives for Jesus as a city within our city. We’re gifted with several incredible teachers at our Wedgwood Campus alone. This isn’t REALLY a post about the role of women in the church, but we hope we got your attention.

Since late 2007, the men of the Wedgwood Campus (and friends from other campuses and even some who don’t go to our church) have gathered Thursday mornings for prayer at 6.30am. For me, this was truly miraculous occurrence… not just because 15-25 men show up with surprising regularity, but because even I can’t usually get out of bed until 8am. If I do, I usually look like an extra in a George Romero film (which is a zombie reference, to clarify for our cinematically challenged readers). By God’s grace, this has even been an inspiration, energizing and galvanizing factor for Mars Hill pastors.

Our women leaders are setting up an equally important time for our ladies starting Tuesday March 4 at… you guessed it, 6.30am. Why so early? Amy Knorr, our Women’s Ministry coordinator at the Wedge, had this to say (I can’t replicate the remains of her Texas accent, so just fill it in): “this is the best time for ladies of all life-stages to gather together and pray. Students can come before they head to high school or college classes. Those who work outside the home can attend before heading to work, and those who work full time at home with their kids can ask their husbands to wake up the kids that morning so they can join us for prayer and get back in time if their husband has to head to work.”

Amy’s hope is that Women’s Morning Prayer will gather together women of all ages and life stages will help cultivate relationships and ultimately model passages in Titus chapter 2, where mature women pour into the lives of those growing in life and faith. All ladies are welcome starting Tuesday March 4th at 6.30am.

I wish I was married. I wish I had kids. I wish I had a bigger house. If only my husband made more money. If only my kids were more obedient. What if I never get married? What if I lose my job? I wish I could afford an iPhone.
