CALL
TO PRAYER
Colossians 1:9-10 “For this reason we also,
since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray
for you, and to ask that you may be filled with
the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding, that you may walk worthy of the
Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every
good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”
Pray
that we will live the kind of life that honors
and pleases the Lord in every way, that we will
produce fruit in every good work and grow in the
knowledge of God. Thank God that He strengthens
us with his own great power.
Continue
to pray daily for our church, and its ministries
and the good news of God’s love to be shared
with our community and world. .
JOIN US FOR PRAYER MEETING
This Sunday evening, March 14, 2010 at 6:00 PM;
we will gather in our Sanctuary for a prayer meeting.
It will be a special time to highlight and to
pray for the various ministries that will be moved
into the Mission Center when it is completed.
We have asked a person from several of the ministries
that now go on in our church to briefly share
a word about how their lives have been touched.
You will not want to miss hearing what they have
to say, and also being a part of this special
prayer service as we seek the Lord, asking Him
for His blessing and guidance as we move forward
in this awesome journey. Prayerfully Yours, Prayer
