As we begin to emerge into something a little more “normal,” we start making decisions about what we will do and what we won’t do. For many, church life is an unnecessary hindrance. For us, who are gathered in person and online, church is a necessity. With everything we can do in our church life, though, help us to see how important simple gatherings in small groups are. Jesus began his ministry by gathering a small group of disciples, and he stayed with them to the end. Help us make our groups the central focus of making disciples, of growing together, of experiencing salvation. We ask for our sake, and for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

What Are You Saying?
May 23, 2021 • Rev. Brian Sixbey
Tongues of fire, flashes of the Spirit, thousands saved, and the undoing of ancient curses arrived on the day of Pentecost. However, we are often too timid to imagine the Holy Spirit could still move with power today, to undo the curses we face, or bring hope to the hopeless. Help us, Lord, walk into today and tomorrow with purpose, because you aren’t done with us yet! We ask for confidence in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Jesus Pray For Us
May 16, 2021 • Rev. Tommy Markham
Making it through a normal day can be tough especially when we think we are alone. Some folks seem to breeze through the day with no trouble at all. How do they do it? They have the presence of God with them. They start and end the day with prayer. When they feel the need for greater input, they ask for a prayer partner to join them. But wait, there is an even greater source constantly praying for us. It is Jesus who sees our need. Forgive us when we fail to realize our Savior is always with us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
