It is Friday, and we will gather to worship in two days. I want you to know that we have been praying for you all week. One of my daily prayers is for worship on Sundays. I pray my sermon will speak to people and that the people who need to hear it will be in attendance.

Also, my first project every Sunday morning when I arrive at the Church building is to step into a back room and pray for every aspect of our morning as a Church. I pray for the worship leaders, greeters, teachers, children’s ministry, and the people who will attend that day.

Sometime during the morning, a couple of Church leaders and concerned people will also step into a room and pray for the worship. While these prayers are given as the Lord lays them on their hearts, they usually include all those serving and attending.

Finally, during the program each week, prayers will be offered for all those in attendance that day. After my sermon, I will ask God to speak to you through what you heard, and before you leave, I will ask him to bless you.

If you have something special on your mind, you are welcome to meet with a leader in person, share a request on our app, or email it to the office.

I want everyone to know that our Church has been praying for you and is continuing to pray for you. We will continue to pray as the week develops. Being with us on Sunday morning is not just about having another person to count. We want God to speak to you through us and us to speak to God for you. You matter to God and us.
