Pastor’s Note 07/30/2026
This Sunday we are back to our sermon series in 1 Peter, “Hope for the Hurting” as we will dig into the second chapter of this letter from the pen of the Apostle Peter. Do not forget, bring your Bible so you can “circle, highlight, and underline” the spiritual insight’s that Peter was trying to communicate to the Christ-followers of the 1st century and to us in the 21st century.
Pastor’s Note 07/23/2026
Hope you are having a good week. I am back from a short visit to Texas to celebrate grandkid birthdays. It was a fun and tiring 5 days away but it is always good to be with grandkids and to reconnect with them.
A few weeks ago, Donna Swennes passed along these prayers to start your morning and so I thought I would pass them along to you as a way for you to pray as you start your day.
Have a great rest of your week.
Four Prayers to Pray to God in the Morning
Mama Bettie Lewis
- Gratitude: Lord, thank you for waking me up this morning. Not everyone got to today, but you chose me. You protected me through the night and gave me another chance. That alone is enough to be grateful for.
- Protection: God, place your hand over my life today. Protect my mind from thoughts that don’t come from you. Protect my heart from people who don’t mean me well and keep my feet on the path you have set for me.
- Wisdom: Lord, guide every decision I make today. When I don’t know what to say, give me your words. When I don’t know which way to go, give me your directions. Help me choose right even when it’s hard.
- Peace: Fill me with a peace that doesn’t makes sense today. When worry tries to creep in, remind me that you are in control. Let me walk through this day calm and steady, knowing you have already handled what I’m about to face.
