Outreach News

Heifer Project

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Heifer Ark “Tower of Power” quarter bank project.

This has been the most successful Ark fundraiser we have held to date with a total of $787.25 collected so far.

If you still have quarter banks at home, please turn them in as soon as possible because we are very close to our $5,000 goal and you could put us over the top!

Thank you again for your willingness to help with this project.

Blanket Sunday

Thank you for your wonderful support for Blanket Sunday.

This is a wonderful ministry that we are able to provide wool blankets for people in the U.S. and around the world who are victims of tragedy and devastation. Each blanket costs only $5, but to a person in need it is priceless.

At this time we have collected $1488.00. It is not too late to send in your envelope.

Prayer Corner - January 2009

CHURCH AND PRAYER

Do you ever feel God is prompting you to pray for someone? How do you react?

What is prayer? What does scripture say about it? Why do we pray? We want to meet God in prayer for our family, friends and ourselves. Scripture prayers are there if we can’t say our own, or can’t think to form one.

Below are examples of prayer helps from Colossians:

1:3 Lord God, help me to remember to give thanks to You, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in all  things and to maintain an attitude of prayer;

1:4 Build in me a strong faith in You and a love for all the saints.

1:9 Fill me with the knowledge of Your will in all areas of my life.

1:11 Help me to be strengthened with Your power that I may have endurance and patience.

1:23 Father, I ask You to make my faith strong, stable, and fixed on the truth of the gospel.

2:2 Please knit my heart together in love with other believers in the body of Christ.

3:2 Help me to focus my thoughts on Your purposes and not on worldly situations.

4:2 Help me to devote myself to prayer, keeping alert in it, with an attitude of thanksgiving.

You may have other verses in the Bible that are favorites of yours, continue to use those and it is helpful to make a special devotional time for yourself and to pray.

God bless you in this New Year.
