It’s amazing what has happened throughout the world over the last ten years: our world has seen tsunamis, hurricanes, super storms, wars, genocide, and a ever turning economy. We’ve been witness to positive changes in the AIDS epidemic, miracle developments in drugs to treat cancers, the rise of the technology, and continued fight against world-wide poverty. As we think about our individual lives, a lot of changes have happened for us as well: careers, relationships, children, family, celebrations and even deaths. A lot can happen in a decade! But this decade has been marked by more than just the ups and downs of life, it has been marked with prayer.
For the last ten years, Shiloh United Methodist Church’s Prayer Team has been lifting up the prayers of not only our church family but many throughout our community, city, nation, and world. Countless hours have been spent interceding at the throne of God on behalf of those looking for answers to their many prayers. Each time a person asks for prayer whether they write it on the blue cards at church, email the church office, tell it to a member of the prayer ministry, or otherwise get it to us, that petition is prayed for every single day by one of the 50 members on the prayer team. So this weekend, June 1st and 2nd we are going to celebrate the power of prayer in worship! A decade of prayers lifted and prayers answered (although we don’t always like the answer) by our good and faithful God!
Church there is power in prayer and this weekend we are going to celebrate it!
Blessings,
Pastor Rachel
