'We'll Pray That They Win'

And then, if everything works out the way we hope, those prayers are answered.

Which brings us to Sunday's Super Bowl. When the Seahawks play, many of us will do in our living rooms what we usually do in church.

We'll pray.

So the Pastor of the Maltby Christian Assembly Church figured if people were going to pray anyway, why not invite them to the church, so people could cheer together. And yes, pray together:

They'll watch the biggest football game in Seattle history, on two 13-foot projection screens in the sanctuary.

"Yeah, we'll pray that they win," says Cheri Kratz. She'll be going to the Maltby Church Sunday afternoon. She's picked out her seat. "Front row, center".

When photographer Brad Baker and I arrived at the church, we saw two cable guys making sure the pastor will be able to receive Sunday's game from the heavens.

Let us pray!

"They'll be praying. I mean I don't know if God takes sides in the Super Bowl," David Brakke says with a laugh. Brakke is Senior Pastor at the church.

And for those who can't wait 'till Sunday to pray, they can get a little head start at Seattle's St. James Cathedral.

Friday night at 6:30 p.m., Father Ryan will hold a prayer service. He says a "Great football team can remind a city of its call to greatness."

Greatness. Great word. Perfect word to describe the Seahawks, win or lose.

Amen.
