Friday

“They continued steadfastly

in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship,

in the breaking of bread,

and in prayers.

And the Lord added to the church daily

those who were being saved.”

~Acts 2:42, 47b, NKJV~

Are we steadfastly doing the same things?

Today, let’s pray for various age groups in our churches.  As you pray, you can name some people in each age group and the names of the people in your church who work with them.  Then, start over and name some people in each age group who do not attend church.  I think you have a lot to pray for today!

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

  • “We Have Fruit” –  http://odb.org/2015/10/02/we-have-fruit/
  • I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build.                                                                                                                                             ~Joshua 24:13~
  • “We Gather Together’
    • We Gather Together LyricsThe United Methodist Hymnal Number 131
      Text: Nederlandtsch Gedencklanck; trans. by Theodore Baker
      Music: 16th cent. Dutch melody; arr. by Edward Kremser (1838-1914)
      Tune: KREMSER, Meter: Irr.

      1. We gather together
      to ask the Lord’s blessing;
      he chastens and hastens
      his will to make known.
      The wicked oppressing
      now cease from distressing.
      Sing praises to his name,
      he forgets not his own.

      2. Beside us to guide us,
      our God with us joining,
      ordaining, maintaining
      his kingdom divine;
      so from the beginning
      the fight we were winning;
      thou, Lord, wast at our side,
      all glory be thine!

      3. We all do extol thee,
      thou leader triumphant,
      and pray that thou still
      our defender wilt be.
      Let thy congregation
      escape tribulation;
      thy name be ever praised!
      O Lord, make us free!
