This Sunday: If your church has a church security team let the pastor know you are grateful
I am personally grateful for the security team, because for several months I was the security team, setup/teardown team (with occasional volunteers), and cleanup team. I also had to occasionally teach Kids Sunday School, help with A/V, and even preach. That does not make for strong security. We finally got a man who saw the need, got extra training, and now we have a good team in place. (We also have teams for everything else, though I help in several areas still.) I get updates and questions from the team, but I can sit more on Sundays. We certainly live in a dangerous world, but God is good and has His people equipped.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for the church’s prayer meetings ahead of time
We launched our Sunday “prayer corner” nearly three years ago, only the elders taking turns being the primary contact. A year and a half ago, we started a midweek prayer group. It actually took us a while to have this same thought as today’s exhortation. Today, our deacons lead the prayer corner with other volunteers, and midweek is facilitated by volunteers. (We elders still participate in both! I rarely make the prayer meeting due to youth group being at the same time.)
Pray for congregational prayer.
Daniel
For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Pray for the church’s prayer meetings ahead of time.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
