Pray Prior to Sunday Services

Several small groups have been in the habit of praying for the worship services each Sunday. 

  • Each WORSHIP team in charge for that service prays regularly for all the people involved, for the Lord’s good hand, that they would perform with undistracting excellence, that the sound, light and video systems would all work well, and that God would be glorified.
  • A small group gathers with the preacher for the day to pray that the Word would be spoken clearly and convictingly; Sunday School teachers would explain well; listeners would have soft hearts;  newcomers would be welcomed warmly; attenders would arrive on time and ready to meet the King; ushers, sound techs, and other workers would do their tasks as unto the Lord, and that God would be glorified.

 WHAT to pray is pretty routine; in fact, a prayer is often offered that says, “We have prayed this same prayer many times, LORD, but you have told us to be persistent; so we are.”   The time involved is short so we can’t pray for all the events or worries of the week ahead.  But the key thing is that someone is there praying for the services every week, and we DO desire that God be glorified.
