Are you ready? Are you ready to “March into Prayer?” The longer I’m in ministry, the more and more I realize that without prayer, anything we try to do in the church is in vain (or should I say “is vain.”) Whenever we attempt something without God’s favor or blessing, we are attempting to do it under our own power and with our own abilities…that truly is vain. Certainly, with good intentions, we can plan this program, or that event, but without prayer…without seeking Divine guidance and the direction of the Holy Spirit, it will only be a shadow of what it could be.

During the month of March, I want to encourage us as a congregation to do everything we do with prayer. Let’s see what will happen. Each Sunday, before church, I invite you to join me at 9:45 a.m. to pray for the worship service. I’m also looking for individuals who might be willing to pray during worship services in March. Would you be willing to pray from 6-7:30 p.m. on Sunday evenings (from your home) while our youth are meeting at the church? Would you be willing to be a part of prayer vigil (more information to come) during the month of March? Would you be willing to come on Wednesdays evenings at 7:00 to pray for our church, community, city, state and nation? Would you be willing to commit to pray for your neighborhood (where you live) during the month of March? Would you promise to pray for the lost?

I know many of you do pray on a regular basis and for that I’m grateful. But I think we can always improve what on what we are doing for the Lord.

Acts 2: 42 said this about the fellowship of believers: “They devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching and to the fellowship, the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Because of their fellowship, praise and prayer, Luke writes in verse 47: “And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

What did fellowship and prayer do? It unleashed the power of heaven in the midst of those believers and lives were saved. Join me in March as we pray for God’s incomparable power to be manifested in our church family.

With Love,

Pastor Bruce
