A CORPORATE CALL TO PRAYER
Acts 4:31 tells of God’s empowerment of the Early Church in response to corporate prayer. We seek such divine enabling in our church family’s mission and invite all to engage in daily prayer for such at 4:31 p.m. Set a reminder and pray.
​​​
The suggested sentence prayer for this week:
Gracious God, we see you in your Son embracing us when we were outsiders and bearing with us in our failings to establish us in your goodness and life. By your Spirit, give us the same attitude we see in Jesus, that the hope you have given to us might overflow to others. Amen.
