Tonight I announced to the church the details of a very special upcoming June... We are teaming up with over 600 other churches to pray!
"One Prayer" is the name of this event. The idea is to pray a prayer for the church at large and for our church in particular. What do we want to ask God for?
Here are some of the highlights of June at LifeBridge...
Prayer Rally Kick Off on the next First Wednesday, June 4... together with several churches and pastors in our area, at our facility.
24 hours of prayer at our church facility beginning Friday, June 13 at 6 PM. People will sign up for half hour increments to pray during that period.
I will preach a sermon on June 8 entitled, "Make Us Unique". That message will be taken from John 17 and will form the basis for our prayer requests for the month.
On Sunday, June 15, 22, & 29, we will have three national pastors preachvia video! Two of the sermons are entitled, "Make Us Dangerous" and "Make Us Creative". The third sermon is yet to be determined.
I am very excited about this unique month! I believe what I heard Dr. Jerry Falwell say many times... "Nothing of eternal importance ever happens apart from prayer!"
How's your prayer life? Could it use a kick start?
I have realized that I have been praying a lot lately. I pray all throughout the day - in the shower in the morning, in the car going to work, when I have some downtime at my computer at work. Most recently I have been having physical therapy and get 20 minutes of quiet alone time in a room with heat on my back and the lights turned out - I was reaching for a magazine to read during those times, but then decided it would be a good 20 minutes to devote to prayer. So it goes to show you that you can pray just about anywhere! I am longing to get deeper and pray more with Paul and my close friends. Prayer doesn't just bring you closer to our Heavenly Father - but can bring us spiritually closer to our loved ones as well!
