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 8, 2026
FBC Day of Prayer Friday, May 8, 2026
“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.” II Chronicles 7:14
“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 the one who knocks; the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
Our Prayer and Praise service last Sunday night went well. The FBC Prayer Team will be collaborating with Pastor Ronny to schedule the next Prayer and Praise service in the Fall.
Last Wednesday night was our Quarterly Business Conference. At the end of the meeting, Pastor Ronny shared three concerns that he has for the church. We ask you to pray for each of these concerns.
1. Staffing the vacancies we have - With the Missions Pastor position vacant and the Discipleship Pastor also vacant, Pastor Ronny wants to merge the two positions into one. He wants to call the position the Global Discipleship pastor. Finding the right person with the right experience, temperament, abilities, and giftedness is especially important.
For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
2. Parking lots – two lots to sell and multiple lots to protect. The use of our parking lots is the question. New neighbors will be moving into the facility that is being built. They will have 90 units to sell with only 30 parking spots available to use. We want to be good neighbors. We want to build bridges not barriers. Many of the new people living in this new facility may not know Jesus.
“After I had given the purchase agreement to Baruch, son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord: Oh, Lord God! You yourself made the heavens and earth by your great power and with your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you! Jeremiah 32:16 - 17
3. Funding levels - Weekly giving is better this time of year than last year. However, our contributions do not meet our weekly budget. The staff is working hard to maintain expenses under our income.
In every way I’ve shown you that it is necessary to help the weak by laboring like this and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35
Please take five minutes to pray for these three prayer needs.
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
