Community Pentecostal

Father God,
We love you today and are excited at the changes you will bring to our church in the coming year. Deacon elections are coming up. We pray that those you have chosen will find favor with those who are voting. Lord, clear their calendars and make this appointment possible. Bless them with wisdom and visions, Christ sized visions. Lord, please pick the agenda we are to follow on SUnday. If there are issues that need to be addressed, then may they be spoken of. Guide the meeting, keep us off of rabbit trails or detours that are not required. Keep us focused so that the meeting wont take long. Lord, Bless our church with spiritual growth. Use our church for a vessel of your choosing. May we be a light to our community. May we be a church that has a reputation of being hot, not cold or lukewarm when Jesus comes again. And if we as individuals or as a church or both are not in preparation for when Jesus comes again, convict us of it and get us back on track. We are moving out of Jerusalem, out of our comfort zone. As we move into Samaria and Judea, into the non comfort zone remind us that you are with us always. Open our eyes to the needs around us. May we not miss it, when you call us. Lord, bless our current deacons. Bless Pastor Ken and Pastor Tod and their families. Protect them and our church, shore up the strongholds and strengthen the fortress of protection around our church. Bless teh Grices. Bless Gordon with healing and Pat with provision, encouragement and whatever else the Grices need to bear through this. Bless all the needs in our church, spoken and unspoken. Bless our congregation this week, strengthen our marriages, protect and grow our children in Christ. Help us to grow spiritually, to make progress in areas we need to . Thank you Jesus. In your name we pray. Amen.
