- Spend time in prayer for our congregation. During worship services today, invest your full attention and devotion to God in the times of silent and corporate prayer. Pray for the worship leaders: Rev. Sharon Vandegrift, our guest preacher; the lay readers and liturgists; the Children’s Worship leaders and nursery volunteers; the musicians. Ask God to work through them to glorify and praise God’s holy name.
When I woke up today, I was so excited for worship. I'm always excited to gather with God's people but for the past few Sundays, my level of thrill has been rising. I can feel God's presence from the moment I begin to awake. We celebrated Consecration Sunday today, the time of the year when we offer to God our financial gifts. I said special prayers for our guest preacher, the Rev. Sharon Vandegrift, and for all who would attend. These Sunday morning prayer times are so meaningful because it reminds and humbles me to consider the number of people who freely and joyfully offer their gifts and talents to serve God and God's people. Thank you, Holy One, for being a Creator who is worthy of our praise.
