Calling all worshippers! We will be having a special night of worship and prayer on Sunday, August 13th, starting at 6pm. It will be combined with Sunday Night Connections, so be sure to bring your entire family to worship with us and enjoy some food and fellowship afterwards. Along with worship, there will be prayer throughout the service, and the focus will be “Back to School”. We will also be praying specifically for teachers, students, schools and the entire school year.
We had a worship night last year, and we thought a great time to have another one would be right before the new school year starts again to set our focus on God. Let’s show our families that God is our top priority and how important it is to have Him be first in all we do. Let’s also encourage our teachers and students to be a light wherever they go – including school!
The Bible says in Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
People are supposed to see our good works, the Bible says, so that they may glorify our God in Heaven. Our job is to do good works for others to observe them and glorify God!
We can be a model of Christ’s love to those around us. (John 13:34-35) We can be ready to give an account of the hope that is within us. (1 Peter 3:15) We can be ready to pray with anyone who asks. (1 Timothy 2:1) We can also be willing to give sacrificially when we see people in need. (1 John 3:16-18) These are some examples of being the hands and feet of Jesus. He physically doesn’t step down from Heaven to do it – so He uses people like us,
His Jesus followers, to do it for Him. Isn’t it exciting that we can be used by God to carry out His will?
Please join us for worship and prayer on Sunday, August 13th! The band and I are really looking forward to worshipping with you – we’ll see you there!
