[Our Worship U praise band led all three worship services yesterday. It was also a debut of the use of our large screen in our newly remodeled sanctuary as we were able to project lyrics for some of the songs.]
Thank you O God for your Word
which is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. You are the true
source of life and happiness. Thank you for your laws which form us into the
people you want us to be. Help us to know your laws and to be mindful of them
as we live out our faith.
O God, thank you for the
happiness that we are feeling from last Sunday’s special building dedication
Sunday. We were blessed to have former pastors, friends we haven’t seen in a
while, and our ministry partner groups with us in worship that day. It was a
day like no other, O God.
Some said it felt like an
Easter or Christmas Eve service. Others said it was like both of them combined.
It was a great day to celebrate what can be accomplished when your people offer
their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness for a common purpose.
May the joy and the happiness
from that day continue to fill our hearts as we adjust to the new look and feel
of our church building. Help us to be a haven of blessing and peace for all who
come here, O God.
On this day, we especially
pray for those who are in search of a haven, like the student this past week
who stopped by our church to pray. Like the High School senior deciding which
college to attend. Like the grieving family member at the loss of a loved one.
Like the refugee fleeing from danger. Like the young adult trying to find
meaning and purpose in life.
O God, thank you for being
our haven of blessing and peace. And may we be a haven of blessing and peace
for others.
We pray this in the name of
Jesus who taught us to pray together saying,
“Our Father, who art in
heaven…”
