ACALL
TO PRAYER!
"Faith
is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction
of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
In
the Message translation of the Bible it says,
"This trust in God, this faith, is the firm
foundation that makes life worth living. It’s
our handle on what we can't see."
"With every prayer and request, pray at all
times in the Spirit and stay alert in this, with
all perseverance and intercession for all the
saints." Ephesians 6:18
We
can pray any time, anywhere, as Jesus did. Sometimes
we can pray aloud, and sometimes silently.
PRAY
FOR THE LORD'S GUIDANCE AND PRAISE HIM THROUGH
THESE DAYS AS WE EMBARK ON THE "JOURNEY HE
HAS DESIGNED FOR US." PRAY THAT WE WILL BE
FAITHFUL STEWARDS. FBC Prayer Leadership Team
PRAYER
COMMITMENT
This Sunday you will receive a Prayer Commitment
Card as you enter the Sanctuary. Hopefully these
cards will reflect your commitment to lift up
in prayer daily our church, its ministries, and
the good news of God’s love to be shared
with our community and world. At the end of the
worship service we will share our commitments
by placing our Prayer Commitment Card in baskets
in the Sanctuary.
