Good day dear friends.
Today is our day of prayer. Here is our study guide as well as a
prayer for the congregation which can work in your congregation as
well if you're not from FUMC-SM.
Friday: This is our day of prayer.. Pray again for the things we
mentioned for Wednesday. It is so important for the churches of
Jesus Christ to stay focused and relevant to the needs of a hurting
world. Be a part of those who seek to bring healing to God's people.
A PRAYER FOR THE CONGREGATION:
Lord, raise up more praying people within our congregation and
strengthen Pastor Eradio and Pastor Leslie in their service to You.
We pray Your shepherds will tend Your lambs with love and
forgiveness. We ask that our Congregation give back love and
forgiveness to them. We ask that each member of our church would be
supportive of our pastors, recognizing their humanity by not preying
upon their time needlessly and helping them wherever we can. May
each member recognize our pastors as Your servants whom You have
called. May no word of criticism or false accusation be brought
against Pastor Eradio or Pastor Leslie, the servants You have chosen
to shepherd our church. We recognize the church budget as a major
concern for our pastors and ask that each member be faithful in
tithing. We ask that You bless our congregation with cheerful
hearts in giving. We ask for our congregation to be open to change
in order that we may grow in our worship experience and draw closer
to You. We ask that First UMC be a church give over to prayer in
all things. In Jesus' name, Amen.
