As part of our 40 Days of Prayer, this weekend we're joining with churches across the Holston Conference in a Neighborhood Prayer Walk. On Saturday, August 29, you're invited to walk through your street and/or neighborhood and pray for each household. Then on Sunday, August 30, we want to lift up the places around our church where we sit down for lunch together so often.
We're continuing to make simplicity our guide during these 40 days. You may know the needs of every household on your street, or you may not know many of their names. Either way, you're invited to walk through your neighborhood and lift up each household in prayer, silently or quietly, using the model Jesus gives us: "Give us this day our daily bread." Pray that each family and business receives what they need for today, and that our eyes will continue to be open to what God is doing in our midst.
In giving the Lord's Prayer, Jesus also cautions against praying in such a way to be noticed. Our goal for this weekend is simply prayer for our neighbors. If opportunities present themselves for conversation, you are welcome to ask if there is anything you can pray for. But more than anything, we simply want to lift each other up.
