Lewis We Welcome You! Spiritual Preparation We would like to welcome all of our guests to Community Presbyterian Church. We hope that the Spirit and love of the Lord fill you today as you worship with us. We would love to connect with you one-on-one, to learn more about you, and to allow you to learn more about our church and congregation. If you are a first time guest please join us after the service at the Welcome Cart so that we may get to know you better and offer you a welcome gift. There is no substitute for spiritual preparation. Spiritual preparation equips you for unforeseen crises or opportunities. However, if you are unprepared you will be vulnerable in life's unexpected events. If you are spiritually prepared when a crisis comes, you will not have to try to develop instantly the quality of relationship with Christ that can sustain you. If you suddenly have an opportunity to share your faith with an unbeliever, you will be equipped to do so. If you enter a time of worship Spiritually prepared, you will not miss an encounter with God. If you are spiritually filled when you meet a person in sorrow, you will have much to offer. If you have established safeguards in your life in advance, you will not give in to temptation. Christians lose many opportunities to experience God’s activity because they have not devoted enough time to their relationship with God. If you have not yet developed the habit of daily prayer and Bible study, why not begin now, so that you will be equipped for whatever life brings? From Experiencing God: Day By Day Henry T.
