Sunday, October 26, 2025 (Reformation Sunday)
Beulah UMC & Oak Grove UMC
Lord Jesus, thank you for coming to this house today. Maybe we should put a sign out front that says, “Celebration in Progress!” We are rejoicing because it is your mission to bring good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind and the proclaim the year of Jubilee.
And so, we thank you for your gift of salvation that not only saves us from our sins but also sends us from this house each Sunday to share this same good news with others. Thank you for coming to our house this morning, Lord Jesus.
On this Reformation Sunday, reform, reshape, renew, reignite, and remold us to grow in what it means to be the joy-filled and loving people that you have called us to be.
Lord Jesus, come to the homes of the people who we lift up to you in prayer; those on our church’s prayer list as well as others who are on our hearts and minds. May they receive your healing, comforting, loving, saving, and guiding presence in whatever situations they may be facing.
And we pray for our world wherever there is hunger, wherever ever there is bondage, wherever there is abuse, wherever there is economic exploitation, and wherever there is injustice. Help us to be the change that you have in mind for this very troubled and hurting world, but a world that you love so much and seek to renew and redeem.
Lord Jesus, thank you again for coming to our house today where we are invited to pray this prayer that you taught us to pray together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
