40 Days of Faithfulness
August 19-September 30
I pledge to trust God to be faithful and will demonstrate that trust by increasing my faithfulness in: Tithing, Prayer, and Scripture. God promises blessings that we cannot contain if we are faithful in our giving. We believe that God keeps his promises!
Let’s live like we do!

Worship Prayer:
Bless this service of worship,
Dear Lord. May we receive new depths of understand and new heights of insight. May the wisdom we gain in Christ make us faithful in every good work to honor the Lord our maker.

“With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you
worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every
desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. We pray this so
that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him,
​according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
 
 
How God would grow His church:
 
Give us a worthy objective
(salvation for us and others)
 
Give us a vital fellowship
with each other
