Prayer for Today, Friday, July 23

Creator and Ever-present God,
We come humbly before you, keenly aware of our shortcomings and sinfulness. We confess our self centeredness, our false piety, our desire to control. Free us, O Lord, by your grace. Help us to understand you are constant and your love has no boundaries. There is more grace in you than sin in us. We open our hearts to you, Gracious God. Use us as your faithful witnesses in the world. May our actions speak volumes to those who are broken, hurting, confused or alienated.
In Jesus name, AMEN

Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Bud Loomis. Bud died in his home last night around 7:00 p.m. with Madge at his side. Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home is making the arrangements. May God provide comfort to Madge and their family. Bud will be sorely missed by us all.

VBS closing night is tonight at Northern Oklahoma College near the observatory. Festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. with a picnic. Bring lawn chairs and blankets. It will be loads of fun!!!!!!!!!

VBS Sunday is this Sunday. The Revive and Renew group will join the sanctuary worship group for a combined service in the sanctuary at 10:15 a.m. The children will provide the “sermon” with music and sharing. You won’t want to miss it. The 8:00 a.m. chapel service will meet as scheduled. The children will sing at the conclusion of that service.

Sunday there is a Deacon’s meeting at 11:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. All deacons are encouraged to attend.

Grace and peace,

John McLemore
