"Begin With Prayer" // Matthew 26:36-44 (Sunday 6/30/24)

ARE YOU the "prayin' type"? Does it come natural to you, or is praying kind of a struggle? Jesus was definitely the "prayin' type", as every step and turn of his life was surrounded by prayer. He prayed all night before choosing his 12 disciples! He also prayed some passionate prayers the night before he chose to complete his mission of sacrifice and suffering for us. His greatest act of grace was empowered by prayer. In fact, all the best things begin with prayer. Let's find out this Sunday how blessing others and building community has to start with prayer. There's encouragement and inspiration for us in practicing together - it makes all the difference.In prayer, we open ourselves to God and the leading of his Spirit. In prayer, we focus our minds to recognize his promptings. In prayer, we receive the direction we need to discover the people and the places God is calling us to BLESS. This is how every great adventure begins! Sunday 9 & 10:30am // Arcata Veterans Hall
