The Story
Join us and Christians around the world for 10 days of prayer.

| Global Day of Prayer - 2008 Dear Church Family, One of my favorite quotes is from E.M. Bounds, "Prayer can do anything that God can do." We're entering into a special season of prayer at Woodbury. For the first 10 days in May we're going to have a prayer gathering every day. With Christians around the world we'll be participating in the "Global Day of Prayer" emphasis -- and exciting move of God. We'll also be praying for God's guidance and strength in this crucial and pivotal time in our life together as a church. We very much want every member and friend of the congregation to participate in this season of prayer. There are four primary ways you can get involved. 1. Host: We need at least 7 people who will open their homes for one night to host a prayer gathering. (The Sunday gatherings will be at the church. A community wide prayer gathering will be held May 1 at Legacy Middle School.) Just run the vacuum, provide some light ref reshments and invite your friends and fellow church members to come to your home and pray. 2. Lead: Lead a prayer gathering in your home, or the home of someone else. (The host doesn't have to be the leader, but it's okay if she or he does lead.) We will provide a simple outline to follow. If you've never done anything like this before, it's a great opportunity for you to grow in your discipleship. And I'll be glad to work with you before hand in any ways I can. Most gatherings will start at 7:00 PM, but you can be flexible with the time to meet your schedule. (There's probably someone else whose schedule is like yours!) If you would like to host or lead a prayer gathering, contact Debbie Bensey and copy me. 3. Attend at least one prayer gathering. Our goal is for every member a nd friend of the church to attend at least one of these prayer gatherings. The whole meeting will take about an hour (including fellowship time). Praying together is an amazing way to grow closer to your fellow church members and to Christ. Set aside a night or two right now and plan to join us in prayer. Sign up sheets will be available at the church. 4. Pray daily. A prayer guide for the Global Day of Prayer and special prayer guides for Woodbury will be provided. Thank you for participating in this prayer emphasis. In a separate note I'll explain how the Lord led us to this event. I think you'll see the hand of God in it. It's really cool. I love serving Christ with you! In Christ's Love, Rod<>< |
