This week's message is one where I am going to need your help in making some things happen that are vital not only to our congregation, but to our life as people in the Kingdom of God who are to be about being the light of Christ in the world (through our thoughts, words, and deeds) until he returns again in glory. Specifically, I am calling all of us to take the next five or ten minutes (yes, do it now, so you don't forget about it) to pray for the following ministries of our congregation:
* - Sunday School
* - Morning Worship
* - Courage to Invite Others to Join us for Worship
* - Congregational Leadership
* - Living lives that lift up the light of Christ in all we say, do, and think
* - The Youth and their Leaders
* - Vacation Bible School
* - Our Music Ministry
As we head into another year together in ministry, it cannot be stressed enough that the foundation of the church, and any congregation within the church, MUST be people of prayer. We must be intentional, as Paul writes so eloquently, about "Praying Without Ceasing." The question you and I must face, and think long and hard about our answer, is: "Does the life that I live indicate a life lived by one who 'prays without ceasing'?
Be sure to be in worship this Sunday morning (as in every Sunday Morning) as we welcome our newest confirmand, Eddie Giroir, and two others that will be joining the congregation as well. Publicly professing your faith in Christ is the most important public declaration any of us will ever make (EVER), so let's make sure that we support Eddie as he comes to make this most historic profession.
See You Sunday!
