Heavenly Father, We thank You for this day and we thank You for the opportunity to gather and worship You in this space. Your loving Grace is greater than all our Sin! May Your Grace draw us closer to You. May we never forget that our earthly bodies are merely clay pots that are easily shattered. May we always remember that our Peace was bought at a heavy price. Our Blessed Savior Humbled Himself and endured immeasurable pain to offer Redemption to ALL of us for All of OUR tr

Father God, You drew me to Psalm 122:1 this morning—I was glad when they said to me 'Let us go to the House of The Lord!

Have you ever asked God to tell you, show you, what He wants you to know—and then gone about your business without bothering to listen? I’m sure I’m not the only person that has done/does this. With so many exciting things happening in the life of our church, and the many things to come as we re-locate, grow, change, this is the perfect time to introduce “Listening Prayer” to prayerfully seek the Lord for His will above ours.
