Dear Lord, Thank you
for allowing New Life in Christ 689 Block Party to be a place of refuge for the
lost and a place of recreation and release for the weary. Make us the most welcoming & the most
loving church we can be. We need you now to order the steps of every family,
every man, woman, child & teen to 689 Scott Troy for our first Block
Party. Give us favor with the neighbors
who will be our guests at the party! We want every guest who will come in one
condition to leave changed for the better—knowing you for the first time or
coming back to know you in a new way. We lift your name on high so that you can
draw all men, women, children and teens unto you for redemption, for
restoration, for reconciliation and for everything they stand in need of. Let our passion be contagious – help them
know us by our love! Touch every name on our prayer walls, every soul on the
other side of the door hanger, every onlooker of a flyer or slick, every New
Life visitor that they would come to the table we have set for your glory! Help them around every block to the block
party. Make them have the strength to
maneuver every curve and overcome every obstacle the enemy will be put in their
way to keep them from being here.
And Father when they get here,
let us be the church you have called us to be. Correct every logistical issue;
bless the weather to be a blessing to all from sun up to sun down; bless every
LCP; bless the word & worship; every minister, elder and deacon, every
vendor and community connection, the word in Bishops mouth; and the comedian
and every artists and participant in any way.
Let there be a genuine embrace in every touch leading to the block party
weekend. Lord may you provide where
there is lack; heal where there is hurt & make us one. Make all things work together for our good
and your glory! In Jesus Name! Amen
