Please Be Praying

Dear Worshipers,

Over these next few weeks we will have numerous opportunities as a church to reach out with the wonderful story of Jesus. There will be a number of people in the church building that do not know Jesus personally. We will endeavor to introduce them to Him. Please be praying.

Though this truth will be conveyed through a variety of events and special services, it will be reinforced as we live our lives in a way that shows it is true. For those of us inviting people, they have been and will be watching closely to see if what we believe is how we live. We are not prefect, so do not allow the enemy of your soul to discourage you for he is defeated. Please be praying.

The holidays are a wonderful to share the Light of Jesus, but they can be a very dark time for people too. Whether they are lonely or suffering fractured relationships, there is a lot of pain out there. Let us be like Jesus and step into that mess as God directs. Please be praying.

This is a great time of year to focus on Jesus, but it is very easy to find Him pushed back underneath the tree beneath all the trappings and other stuff. Be certain to take a little time each day during this crazy season to reorient yourself to the Savior. You will be glad you did. Please be praying.

This is a busy season in our worship ministries. A lot of extra stuff for services. This makes it more difficult for us to enjoy the season, and maybe struggle with schedules or attitudes. We need to show grace to one another. Please be praying.

Jesus, help me to keep praying. There is a lot happening and I want to see You in it all, and for others to see You too. In Your Name, I pray. Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving friends!

In Christ,

Pastor Timothy
