Come to Prayer Meeting!! Update: Prayer Meetings -- the first Wednesday night of each month.
As a church body, we have just finished studying the Holy Spirit, & what the role of the Spirit should be in our church & in our lives. Jim Cymbala, the author of When God's Spirit Moves, says "The power of the Holy Spirit comes when people pray."
We have an opportunity now to put this into practice corporately at our monthly prayer meetings on Wednesday nights @ 7PM here @ Liberty Street.
Let us seek together His will for us, His healing, His hope, & His power. As Cymbala encouraged us, "God's not dead; he's still alive. And what he's done through the centuries when people have prayed, he can still do today. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to come & grant us a new spirit in our churches, in our small groups, & in our individual lives." "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people..." Acts 2:17 "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us..." Romans 8:26

One Black Day (By: Ann Bailey)
The crowds were shrieking
It’s His blood we’re seeking
This man who calls Himself God
His back became mush
From the flogs cruelly thrust
Rivers of blood rain down
That day He was led
A crown of thorns on His head
Up a long dusty road
To a cross
A lamb slain on a tree
Sacrificed for you and me
He didn’t deserve such a death
The only way that
We can repay
Such a sacrifice freely given
Is
Dying out to sin
And giving to Him
All of our lives
Unconditionally
