God on the Go: Drive-Through Prayer Service Offered in Ivyland

Coffee, hamburgers, French fries and prayer.

Those are just a few of the things you can get locally without leaving your car.

St. John’s United Methodist Church, located on Almshouse Road in Ivyland, is the newest church to introduce drive-through prayer.

Each Wednesday from 4:30 to 6 p.m., the church holds drive through prayer services.

“Drop by for a quick prayer about your concerns,” the church announced on its website.

The service, which began July 23, is open to all.

According to a report by the Bucks County Courier Times, during the drive-through prayer time, church volunteers stand with signs outside of the building hoping to appeal to motorists who need a spiritual boost. Drivers who want to participate simply turn onto the church property, provide their name and what they’d like to pray for.

St. John’s joins a movement throughout the country to offer God on the go.

Hope United Methodist Church in Voorhees, N.J. announced a drive-through prayer service in May, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. A church in Lancaster, Pa. also offers the service, as well as ones in Florida, Virginia, Kansas and California.
