As Christians we are to be good stewards of our nation and our communities, therefore I want to remind you to take steps to prepare yourself to prayerfully vote this fall. Many communities have made mail-in voting as well as early voting widely available. The next election is the Nov. 3 election.
Though we take part in our civic duties in order to 'form a more perfect union', participate in our elections, pray for our leaders, and for God's will to be done through our elections, we ultimately realize that our hope is not found in parties or politicians. Our Savior will not be an elected official, nor be found in political office--it would be foolish to think so; the Bible is clear that there is one savior in heaven--eternally sovereign, unrivaled, and holds the heart of the king in his hands (Prov. 21:1). Let us keep God alone as our the true source of all hope, order, and peace.
"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ"
Phil. 3:20

In Peter's 1st letter, he tells us, "Casting all your cares / anxieties on God, because he cares for you." (1 Pet. 5:7) We believe in the power of prayer. We pray to a loving & all-powerful God who went to the cross to prove his love for us, and for whom nothing is impossible. We put our trust and hope in him alone and we lift up the following requests to Him.
- Pray for Cullen Shay & the Shay family as he recovers from serious shoulder surgery.
- Pray for Duane Crabtree who is recovering from breaking 2 bones in his foot
- Pray for Joan Dean for healing, restoration, & comfort against neuropathy
- Pray for Carolyn Smith's her health needs as well as her sister Marilyn.
- Pray for George Peabody as he continues to fight for better heart health.
- COVID-19 - Pray for our leaders, those impacted physically or financially, and for the safety of the many essential workers. We also pray for the many teachers, school staff, students & parents who return to school this fall in one form or another.
- The Lost - All around us there are those who don't know Christ as Lord and Savior.
- Our Church - Pray for God to do a new thing in our hearts & minds, and be at work in our community throught us as we seek to remain faithful to Him.
- Our Nation - & our leaders as we seek racial justice, battle this pandemic, return to schools, and approach a fall election.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
