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, who is, and who was, and who is to come, we have been freed from sin and made to serve you through Christ’s death and resurrection. Spirit, give us eyes to see that he who is the ruler of the kings of the earth holds us securely in his nail-pierced hand. Amen.
