One Prayer Update

We're a little more than half way through the OnePrayer series and it's been an exciting, fun and Spirit-filled ride so far!
Here's a snippet of what's been happening so far:
  • Several people have had some incredible times of prayer throughout. Many have seen God move in ways they weren't looking for and watched as God went above and beyond what they were seeking in prayer.
  • Our giving (tithes/offerings) for the month of June has been steady and is running ahead of last years June. We saw a great response Sunday for the call to be the church for 2 families - one in the church and one part of the community - that were behind on rent and in danger of being evicted. WOW! In a 'down economy' we're seeing resources become available to bless others. Kingdom work, people!
  • There was mention Sunday of 2 service projects in town that groups could participate in and serve others. As of this note, one home will be mostly taken care of by Tuesday evening (tonight). And here's the really cool part: the family that initiated the work has only been attending for a few months. They just wanted to give back, to serve God and this fit right in with their passion to do so! WOW!
  • Got a call from one of our college students who is going to join them tonight to finish up what they can and invite others to join her!
Waiting to hear from many of you who have seen God move in this series. I know that some have had some good, life-changing conversations with folks about the messages and how that is impacting people's lives. We have truly been blessed in this series, and technology has helped us to introduce the church to what we can do with it. LOVE that part!

OnePrayer is all about serving, sharing and giving. Have you found your niche yet? Has your group found a place to be involved in service? You don't have to wait for the church to 'tell you' what is available. Many of you know of needs. GO MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD! Be prepared to be blessed...be prepared to be a blessing!

Love this place!
