ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

August 12, 2019

Prayer for the Week:

There is history to your church,

O Spirit who empowered

those first followers.

There is a history to your church,

O Spirit who has called forth

preachers and teachers,

servants and caregivers,

those who exemplify

humility and compassion.

There is a history to your church,

O Spirit, and we are inspired

by the sacrifices

of those who continued

to follow your calling.

There is a rich history to your church,

O Spirit, and we are thankful

for those who have humbly guided

the body into greater faithfulness;

who have been living examples

of Christ Jesus in the moment;

who have refused to relinquish their purpose

even when the challenge appeared too much.

There is an amazing history

being written about your church

in this very moment, O Spirit,

and we pray that our participation

will be worth telling to another generation.

There is a church, your church, O Spirit,

and it is coming alive for this generation.

Amen.
