JUNE – A MONTH OF PRAYER
The Vital Planning Committee would like to ask the entire congregation to be in prayer for OUR CHURCH! We thank you for your dedication to praying for the many in our church family who need our prayers. We would ask also that you be very diligent in praying specifically for direction for our church and we would like to plan for June to be designated as A MONTH OF PRAYER. During the months that this committee has been meeting we have recognized many areas that need attention and we say time and again, “We used to do that.” We are convinced that we need to Strengthen From The Inside first!! That strength will come to us through concentrated prayer. The Vital Planning Committee has committed to meet every Sunday Morning at 9:30 a.m. in the chapel for 15 minutes of prayer. We ask that every Sunday School Class, Committees, UMW Circles, Bible Study Groups, Youth or Children’s Groups, and any other group who will, pray during your time together, concentrated prayer for our church and the direction that we need to take. Be bold as we seek God’s Leadership for Our Church!

I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what you will. Rank me with whom you will. Put me to doing; put me to suffering. Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full. Or let me be empty. Let me have all things. Or let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal. Amen
