Pause and Reflect
Oftentimes, it’s easiest to look to the next “thing” and rush by what God has been saying to us. Take time
to review what God has said to you over the past seven days.
The work God has begun in your heart can spread to others. Our prayer is that revival spreads from an individual (you and me) to a church, then to a community, to a nation, and beyond.
God has so much He wants to do in and through your life as you follow Him. This is a great time to seek the Lord and ask Him for opportunities to share with others. Watch for those opportunities to arise, and then follow through.
Good Morning Contemplative, Prayerful, Followers of the Way! Jesus is the way and there are many layers to mine for what it means to be in Him, of Him, for Him and His reflection. What's He saying t you? How might He be wanting to release revival through you? What will you do about that? Talk to Him and some others and don't shrink back. You were made for such a time as this! God's got some miracles for you to release and some people awaiting your prayers of salvation and encouragement. Live and love like Jesus and even laugh and enjoy this life in Christ! What a thrill ride we are on!
I've been up most of the night. This time because our Maggie really hurt herself before bed and I've been trying to comfort her and then was just too awake to sleep. It's a little after 5. Time to head back to bed before our ZOOM HUDDLE. Take some time to abide in our Vine, take in nourishment, meditate on what he's revealing, pray in power for Him to use you, draw many and unite you with some co-laborers, and release some miracles. he'll do that if your heart is right and you are willing to follow His plans and way. DO IT! Begin with abiding worship
! And prepare for a day of joining God as you go. He's got some great custom made plans for you for such a time as this! Rejoice! Trust! Obey! And follow the Jesus' way. Check out the link to this praise song as you abide, worship, pray and prepare: The Jesus' Way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARSGgC9iQb0&list=RDARSGgC9iQb0&start_radio=1
Shalom! We are followers and bringers of the Way! Amen!
Sarah Update:
Good afternoon, warriors,
I wanted to remind everyone of those that are in need of our prayer support and upliftment:
Ed Rohrer - had a liver biopsy
. They are waiting for the results in the next week or so.
Barb Somers - asking for prayer for her sister who is on hospice, and is preparing to enter her eternal home
Please keep Barb and the family in your prayers as they will miss her very much
Debbie and Gerry Siegfried's fur baby, Challa. She is having some health issues and the Vet staff and medical team
is working diligently to find out why she won't eat and isn't feeling well.
Gary Bastan is asking for prayer for his friend, Dave Mercer - Dave is hoping to remain in remission for 6 to 24 months
so he can then have a T cell procedure.
Continued prayer support for Matthew Stauffer - experiencing some ups and downs with his health situation.
Prayers for our young people, kids and our grads. Richard Paul (Larry and Enol's oldest son) will be attending
Lehigh University in August. He will be studying Accounting.
Lori Rohrer - she will have the fusion of her right SI joint on

medical team as they prep for this procedure.

Prayer plays a valuable role in our Jesus journey. Prayer is the way we communicate with our Heavenly Father.
It's a way we share our joys, our sorrows, our anxieties, our needs with God. It's the way that we can talk with
God at any time; day or night.
It's important that we pray for one another. That we, St Matthew's become a house of prayer, where all of our church
family members are praying for one another; praying for our outreach programs and opportunities; prays for pastoral
staff; praying for those that are willing to serve in many different aspects within the church and/or out in the community.
Ladies, that were present on Mother's day - received a mug and were divinely put into prayer groups. You also received
a card with the women's names on it that are in your group. You are to pray for each other, in your group. You also have
their email addresses and they are placed into a group that you can email your requests for prayer. Or share some moments
of JOY with each other; or share something that you read in your devotions that day. Lift up our church and what God is
doing within each of us and all around us. Pray about what is next....what does God want us to help Him next.
Connect and stay connected with one another.
There are four groups of Sisters in Christ: Deep Blue, Light Orange, Light blue, and Orange. And several of you are already
communicating and sharing with your group. That's awesome!
If you have not present to have been put into one of these groups, but would like to be part of a group, please let me know and I will get
you into a group.

Men,
if you were in worship, you received a gift and a name of another man within our church family.
All we are asking is that you would be in prayer for that guy that was taped to the lid of your box. Pray for him daily,
pray for him when the Lord lays his name on your heart. You do not need to call this person, unless the Lord leads you to.
You do not need to email him, unless the Lord asks you to. We are asking you to just pray for him. Pray a great way
to support each other. You never know the pray you whisper for them, may help them make a wise decision, help to heal him,
keep him safe...... remember, if you aren't sure what to pray for your person, just whisper his name to God. God knows what his needs
are......
If you were not at worship
, guys and would like to be part of our mens prayer warriors, let me know.

Praying that you all have a great rest of your

If you have a prayer request, and would like our Warriors to pray for you, let me know and I will make sure your request gets
