Welcome, Announcements & God Sightings Pastor Harry
Preparing Your Spirit Dorothy
Unison Prayer for Today (please stand) Spirit of the Living God, hover over us today as we confess that we put on airs more often than we put on the armor of your love and courage. We are guilty of telling ourselves lies instead of your armor of truth. We try to protect ourselves with worry, selfishness, and self-reliance instead of standing up for those who need our love and generosity. Forgive us, we pray. Fill us us with your wisdom and understanding to always change our ways, so that we may act as your chosen children and spread the good news in our community. Alleluia Amen!
