Week of Prayer

Happy New Year (well, almost). This is our annual Week of Prayer for the Church so we’ll be devoting the blog this week to the topic of prayer. I’ve included the schedule for the prayer meetings below. You can also obtain this information on the CFC web site.

Let’s not just remember prayer this week, let’s remember to pray. And let’s not get prayer ‘out of the way’. Let’s have it be an intention of our hearts and minds and time. The following are some thoughts to inspire us that the privilege to pray and the power to pray have come to us as a result of the Gospel.

John 14:13-14 (ESV) Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

Graeme Goldsworthy: “In Christ we cannot be condemned as inadequate or ‘failed’ pray-ers. I should not think, because I don’t pray as I ought, that God is less inclined to listen to me than he is to listen to some great prayer warrior” (Graeme Goldsworthy, Prayer and the Knowledge of God, 50)

January 2-5 Week of Prayer Please join us as we dedicate a week to prayer, January 2-5, 2008. We will be reserving the Upstairs Conference Room for personal prayer and intercession from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day.
