U Matters

This week, I had the privilege to spend two mornings with ministry leaders from around the world, again - from Mongolia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines, UK, USA, Australia to name a few. This week, the conference was related to Alpha. God is clearly on the move uniting churches worldwide from different languages and denominations. How exciting!

COVID has shaken us up and has challenged the many ways we live life. My prayer is that we the church will emerge stronger, healthier, more intentional and more focused on the mission and ministry that Jesus Christ has called us to. It is my hope that we will know Christ in a deeper way and have a deep desire to make Him known.

Prayer is a critical part of this transformation. Praying may feel awkward, but in the words of Max Lucado, "Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference."

During Lent we invite you to take the time and commit to pray for our church, our city and our world. We hope that during this Lenten season you will join us for 24/7 Prayer. Be a part of the movement and sign up for a prayer slot at https://www.24-7prayer.com/signup/705233.

“if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Blessings, Pastor Michele
