While worship may look many different ways, and our cultural heritage is important to our specific peoples
We must look at prayer in a new way. Some Prayer is one part action and one part Thank God it finally happened.
Applicable needs are a different story.
Bringing them into the church.
Bringing our needs to the table.
We use an anonymous index card, for applicable needs, having the preacher hold the name of the person in need. Aloud he reads to the congregation:
______________________________________________________________
"I've just gotten a good job across town, and my family is using our car, I live near _____. And the location is _______. I only need a ride there at 8 AM, I'll figure out how to get home."

Can anyone answer this prayer?
A church member raises their ✋.
Only if the prayer can be answered will the exchange of information be handled.
Worship is individualized, and our natural father is unseen, seen through us.
I used to say God was somewhere in-between people, like joints on a healthy body, or lubrication between bones. In trust, between different communities, no matter how different they are.
I used to say God was found inside each of us, and we can get closer to him through the deeds we take, however we may feel we may get closer to him.
All are very much true. God is found in timing, in the beauty of that Thank God moment.
He is only as visible in our lives as we allow him to be.
Let God be Good 😊 love others, learn to love yourself, be kind, be open, be strong, be forgiving, but be open.
The walk with our own insecurities and sin is a tough road to walk. Acceptance is about accepting where you are. And continue to grow in the direction you need.
You are worth it.
Your conscious may be hard on you, focus on it, just for today.
One small character defect at a time.
You are worth it.
