Praise and Prayer for 11/11

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. - Romans 3:21-24 (NIV 1984)

There is no prayer meeting at church this week but we join for a time of prayer every Wednesday night from 8-9pm.

Answered prayers:

• Praise God for using the Go Deeper series to remind us of His attributes through the use of stories in the Bible, and that He is pursuing us passionately. Pray that we will seek to go deeper in our relationship with God and to partner with Him to share His love and to reach the lost.
