SHARING AND PRAYING
UNISON PRAYER
God of ages past and days to come, be with us this day. Shower us with your love
and truth. Open our hearts and minds to truly love as you love us and as you call us to
love. Grant us the courage to ask the questions that frighten us, that we may courageously
live and grow as your disciples on this earth. Give us the wisdom to use all that you have
entrusted to our care so that we may be a blessing in your name. With the confidence of
Christ’s grace in our lives we pray. Amen.

God welcomes us this day with steadfast love to satisfy our deepest longings.

May God’s favor and grace guide us on paths of love and peace.
We rejoice with gladness this day!

FAMILY LIFE CENTER
The Family Life Center construction is complete,
our new sound system and stage curtain are ordered. Children, youth and adults are already
enjoying it. Fund raising is going well, but we are
still short of our goal, since the costs are greater
than we had hoped. Now is the time to make your
contribution, or even add to what you have already given. Thanks to all who have contributed.
We look forward to attaining our goal & celebrating the full completion of our Family Life Center.
Please be sure you have given us a (blue) card
with the dedication that you would like to appear
on the plaque (for those giving a unit ($250) or
more), or in the booklet (for smaller gifts).
