Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting
Prayer Meeting is a time for fellowship. A time when we meet together as a church and lift our voices in songs of praise to our loving and merciful God, prayerfully study a portion of His word and learn to apply its meanings in our lives, share with each other our concerns and the blessings of what God has done for us, and have a season of united prayer. It is a relaxed time when all may feel free to participate, open to all age groups from youth to the young at heart. Everyone is welcome to attend. Prayer Meeting is held on Wednessday evenings at 7:00 PM. Hope to see YOU there!
Can I say the Lord's Prayer?
I cannot say "Our,"
if I live in a water-tight spiritual compartment;
if I think a special place in Heaven
is reserved for my denomination.
I cannot say "Father,"
if I do not demonstrate the relationship in my daily life.
I cannot say "which art in Heaven,"
if I am so occupied with the earth
that I am laying up no treasure there.
I cannot say "Hallowed be Thy Name,"
if I, who am called by His name, am not holy.
I cannot say "Thy Kingdom come,"
if I am not doing all in my power to hasten its coming.
I cannot say "Thy will be done,"
if I am questioning, resentful of or disobedient to His will for me.
I cannot say "on earth as it is in Heaven,"
if I am not prepared to devote my life here to His service.
I cannot say "Give us this day our daily bread,"
If I'm living on past experiences.
I cannot say "forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive them that trespass against us,"
if I harbour a grudge against anyone.
I cannot say "Lead us not into temptation,"
if I delibertely place myself, or remain in a position where I am likely to be tempted.
I cannot say "Deliver us from evil,"
if I am not prepared to fight in the spiritual realm with the weapon of prayer.
I cannot say "Thine is the kingdom,"
if I do not accord the King the disciplined obedience of a loyal subject.
I cannot say "Thine is the power,"
if I fear what men may do; or what my neighbour may think.
I cannot say "Thine is the glory,"
if I am seeking glory for myself.
I cannot say "Forever and forever,"
if my horizon is bounded by the things of time.
I cannot say "Amen,"
if I do not also add, "Cost what it may,"
for to say this prayer will cost EVERYTHING.
