| Heavenly Father, Submitted By: Julia Shaffer | PRAY! Heavenly Father, what an awesome God you are. You had us in Your mind even before we were born. You did not randomly select the genetic code that each of us would have, but You loving fashioned and formed the DNA that would make each of us like no one else in the world. Lord, there are people here that need to understand and realize emotionally that they matter to You. Help them to sense Your love. Father, if there is someone here that has never opened their life to Jesus Christ would You help them to take that step, to step across the line today and say, Jesus Christ I want to know You. I want to have a relationship with You. I want You to come into my life and make me the person You want me to be. I want to follow You. In this series, would You use these words from Your Word. Help us discover and develop the shape You’ve given to each of us, the design, how You’ve formed and crafted and fashioned and made each of us unique and for a purpose. I pray that individually and collectively as a church, that self-esteem will rise and people will find new success in life and find significance and meaning and satisfaction from being what You meant for them to be all along. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen. | 03-28-2012 |

| Refreshing Submitted By: Rick | Please be in prayer for us that we will have a much needed Spiritual Refreshing as we take a trip to the Camp Zion Bible Conf. in Myrtle Mississippi from the 13 though the 16th. We would also like to be able to extend our time through the 20th. So please pray that God will open a door where we can have that much needed time to get away and get into His word, and hear someone else preach for a while. We had a conference opportunity last month, but due to a funeral, we had to cancel, and we lost the money for the Hotel (we went through a price saver business) Thankfully this conf. is free. Please remember our church (Greenwood Covenant Church) in prayer, as there has been no salvations here in years. I have been here three years, and have been able to identify some of those reasons. Yet it will take nothing short of the Soverign hand of Almighty God to make the change.When I get back, I will start a series of srtictly Soul Winning sermons. So pray that God will give me the anointing to preach, open the eyes of the religious lost, bring in those who know their needs, stir up Christians to be soul winners, and reach the few young people with the Gospel, not gimmicks | 03-10-2011 |
