Dear Church Family:

On Sunday we distributed Seek God For the City 2010 booklets. There are still a few available this week. The prayer begins on Wednesday, February 17th.

Pray great prayers, uniting with many others.

We always pray better together. “These prayers are too big to pray alone.” That’s what one pastor said of Seek God For the City. Well over 100,000 believers from many hundreds of churches will be praying these prayers. So you won’t be praying alone.

Prayer leads to care and opens ways to share.
Persistent, life-giving prayer for others …

Praying your way into the story of people’s lives isn’t hard. In the booklet you’ll find practical ideas to help focus your prayer for neighbors or co-workers by prayerwalking.

… leads to opportunities to care, displaying God’s love …

As you focus your prayers on specific people, you can better see how to serve those you are praying for in practical ways. As you walk through doors that God opens to display His love, you’ll
discover a growing sense of adventure, compassion and mission with God. The booklet will also give you practical ideas to demonstrate God’s kindness in tangible ways.

...that opens the way to share the gospel, declaring God’s love.

As you continue to pray and to show God’s love in practical ways, you’ll find that God often gives you ways to communicate with people about how they can follow Jesus. Instead of dreading evangelism as if it were a burden, you’ll find yourself following God’s lead with timely authenticity and sincerity. You will also find encouraging ideas in the booklet.

YOU ARE LOVED,
PASTOR DARREL
