Don't forget***Brunch after worship . Bring some friends--it's pancake day!
Good Morning Servants and Prayer Warriors! I have yo fly (get to hang with grand babies !). I have one thing to share: prayer starters from Connections. What would it look like in your life for God's Kingdom to come and will to be done? Is your life an example of that? Use these and pray into it with open ears and a willing heart and then allow God to lead you forth living and loving more like Jesus. He can and always will use the willing, humble, surrendered to pray and serve in His power. Amen! I'm praying for you! Have a blessed day with the Holy Spirit leading you. Amen!
We need a fresh view of the compassionate King. We need to understand the nature of His kingdom. Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.”
Compassionate King, may I have Your heart for the nations, for the poor, the homeless, the lost and the hurting! Open my eyes and move me from my comfort so that I am able to weep for what I see all around me! Give me insight into the needs of my neighbors, whether those who live near me, or all across the world. Shake my ambivalence and fill my heart with Your love for all people! Help me to be faithful in prayer!

Prayer Points
Praise God for the example of servanthood given when Jesus washed the disciples’ feet (Jn. 13:5-15).
Thank Jesus for his promise that you will be blessed in being a servant, following his example (13:17).
Confess those times you are quarrelsome and resentful, not wanting to be a servant (2 Tim. 2:24).
Commit yourself to God as Samuel did and respond: “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Sam. 3:10).
Ask God to reveal clearly his assigned task for you, even as he did for Paul (1 Cor. 3:5).
Pray that your church will faithfully learn the joy of servanthood in every area, fixing their eyes on Jesus, not growing weary or losing heart (Heb. 12:2-3).
