EVERY FRIDAY IS PRAYER DAY
We had a great initial day of prayer with over 250 people taking 15 minutes from their day to pray for God to work in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. We are praying for our church, our community and our country. We are praying for those affected by the virus and those in the heath field who are serving so faithfully and sacrificially.
Our Pastor has called us to continue this effort and make every Friday a Day of Prayer. Those who have signed up have committed to continue. We invite you to join us. No need to sign up, just pray. We ask you to set aside 15 minutes during the day to stop and pray. A new prayer guide will be posted here each Thursday to help direct your prayer time.
Of course, every day is a day for us to pray. We are reminded to continually be in a spirit of prayer.
2 Chronicles 7:14
”And if my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
FBC PRAYER LETTER for MAY 17, 2024
FBC Day of Prayer for Friday, May 17, 2024
IF MY PEOPLE WILL PRAY - 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
A 24-hour prayer movement for our community has begun in the churches in our area across denominational lines. The idea of the 24-hour Prayer Movement began in January when we hosted the Prayer Conference with Dr. Kie Bowman. Now, over 30 churches are participating. Our church selected and will pray on the second Saturday of every month. In the word “community” are three words – “city”, “county”, and “unity.”
You will be asked to pray for one hour. Your prayer time can be done at home or church. You may use the Prayer Room (Code 1954*). It is suggested that you have a prayer partner when using the Prayer Room.
As before, more than one person can pray in a selected hour. Passing the baton to the next prayer person will be done by text. Prayer points to pray for will be sent each month to all those participating.
To answer your questions and details of the 24-hour prayer movement, the Prayer Team is hosting a light sandwich lunch after the morning service on Sunday, June 2, 2024. You can RSVP for the lunch and sign up for a time on the next two Sundays (May 19 and May 26).
We rejoice in the decision FBC made on Wednesday night May 15, 2024, to fund the remaining portion of Phase 1 of the Faith Building project and the initial planning of Phase 2. The total funds in this approval were $525,000. Thanks for praying! It is a joy to watch God work among His peoples.
If you would like to share a Prayer Request that we can join you in praying for, go to fbct.org/prayer. You will find a form at the bottom of the page that can be easily and quickly filled out and submitted with your praise or request. These requests will be sent to the prayer team of intercessors. As the Lord answers your request, share your praise in the same form. May we abide in the love of God, the grace of Jesus, and the fellowship of The Holy Spirit.
Yours in Christ,
Bill Graham
