PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Connectivity with the church in our city

Lord, I lift up the church in our city. Thank You for creating the body as one unit made up of many parts. Help us understand the value of each part as You have arranged them.

Help us to work at being one: concerned about one another—suffering with and rejoicing with other congregations as appropriate. (1 Cor. 12:12-26)

What do you do when—like most churches—you don’t have someone who gets the starting point in a dream like Jane of Hillcrest Church. As I help churches strategize, I offer two practical “jumping off points” to develop strategy around.
