“Infrequent prayer teaches a church that God is needed only in special situations–under certain circumstances but not all. It teaches a church that God’s help is intermittently necessary, not consistently so. It leads a church to believe that there are plenty of things we can do without God’s help, and we need to bother God only when we run into especially difficult situations.” -John Onwuchekwa
During the month of February, First Church will come together in a 28-day prayer experiment. Everyone is encouraged to participate in this exercise, whether individually, with their Sunday School class, or in their small group. We will use the book, Dynamite Prayer, to guide us daily through Scripture, meditation, and breakthrough prayer. Breakthrough prayer is a way of praying where we ask God to open new doors and reveal new possibilities. As we practice breakthrough prayer daily, we will also gather in worship each Sunday and reflect on the characteristics of the Holy Spirit that make God's movement real in our lives and in our world.
We will be placing an order of the Dynamite Prayer books in mid-January. If you or your group would like to order copies of the book, please let Pastor Clair (csauer@fumcor.org) know the number you need by January 15. Books will cost $10/each, and will be due when you pick up your book(s). If you have questions or need more information, contact Pastor Clair.
We are going to learn to listen to God and hear God. We are going to experience great adventures for God’s Kingdom. We hope you will plan to be part. Contact Pastors Ken (ksauer@fumcor.org) or Clair if you have questions or would like more information.
