OUR TOWN 2025: T W R HOUSE OF PRAYER

/ joseph elon lillie / Leave a comment

Winchendon, this little town in North Central MA, has a lot going for it. I think it’s easy to overlook all the things we have going for us as a town.

Don’t get me wrong. We have plenty of challenges and things that set us back on the regular, but that is common life in every town everywhere. But I am taking a long look at the advantages of this little town, and they are pretty incredible.

One of the advantages we have is TWR House of Prayer located at 10 Pond St. In the heart of downtown Winchendon. In the words of Jonathan Bauver the prayer missionary appointed to TWR House of Prayer, “TWR House of Prayer is a missional ministry focused on prayer, worship and ministering to the Lord”.

On the regular TWR House of Prayer is open from Sunday to Friday from 5P.M. to 8 P.M for people to just come and sit and pray through their issues while the TWR team worships and prays from their altar area. The act of sitting for an hour in silent meditation and prayer is one of the healthiest things a person can do in life.

Right now through Jan. 26th TWR House of Prayer is open 7 days a week from 5 P.M. -8 P.M. in cooperation with Cornerstone Church and its annual 21 days of fasting and prayer. Thanks Jon and Angela Bauver for all you do for our town.

DOES YOUR TOWN HAVE A HOUSE OF PRAYER MINISTRY?

THE WIND IS WRONG

I am just about finished for the day. It is currently 13°F outside and with the windchill it feels like -5.

This blog is one of the last things on my to do list before heading off to bed. It was my day off and so that meant work around the house. I got a boatload of reading done, and I added extra straw to the chicken pen. Melanie came over tonight and helped me plastic, the stained glass window and the book nook window.

The Stairwell already feels warmer. We also put plastic on the tall window in the kitchen.

As I sit here with all the storm curtains drawn, I can hear the wind raging outside as it has been all day and for the last two days. It feels wrong, somehow, unnatural.I can’t quite say why, but it sets my teeth on edge.Maybe, this wind is one of our region’s climate change effects. I don’t know. But this weather feels different down in my soul.
