A journey of Prayer
August 23 - September 11
Amazing Grace John Newton’s
A Journey of Prayer And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. | Acts 2:1
Dear Friends, This verse so well explains where I think we are as a church right now. I believe we are in one accord on reaching those in our sphere of influence. The other day I preached “Hope Happens” and I said that Hope Happens when I care. Well let me add to that, hope happens when I care enough to Pray. This is today a call to prayer, a call to corporate and individual prayer. There are in these pages the tools to help us pray together as a church for the next 20 days. We are praying for “Amazing Grace”, Cuba, “One Month to Live” and several other thrust we are taking on as a church. I invite you to pray individually, come together in groups, and join us on several different occasions for corporate prayer. In addition to praying together, we will have the opportunity to participate in fasting together. If you can join us we will be fasting on Wednesdays; August 26, September 2, 9 from 6:00am - 6:00pm. Then at 6:00pm on Thursday, September 10 through 6:00pm on Friday September 11 we will have a 24 hour fast and prayer time. Shell Hall will be open for 24 hours of prayer. We ask that you pick a time to come and pray for “Amazing Grace”. Sign ups will be available at the church for you to choose.
Love in Christ Jesus!
Pastor Steve Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. | Matthew 18:18-20 KJV

Lord, give me favor as I invite my unsaved family & friends to our upcoming outreach, Sept. 11,12, &13th, Amazing Grace. Thank you for this testimony of John Newton's prayer for his friend concerning a lost brother. John Newton to William Cowper, February 22 1770 "I am willing to hope that you will be made a messenger of light and peace to his soul. The Lord's hand is not shortened that he cannot save. He can do great things in a small time, as you know from your own experience. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, he can command light to shine out of darkness. If he speaks, it is done... One glimpse of the worth of the soul, the evil of sin, and the importance of eternity, will effect that which hath been in vain attempted by repeated arguments."
