Thanksgiving Community Dinner Prayer Guide
3 ways to pray for Sunday’s outreach event
As we prepare to end the year giving thanks to the Lord for his many blessings, we want to use this season to show the love of Christ to our community and offer the hope that comes through knowing him. We have an incredible event happening on Sunday, November 19 which will give us the opportunity to minister to many families in the Back Mountain and Wyoming Valley area.
For the second year, we will be hosting our Thanksgiving Community Dinner. We are looking forward to seeing how God will work through this event. Here are three ways to pray for the event:
A Serving Church
There are about 30 people from our church family, from children up to senior saints, who are committed to serving on Sunday. Our team of ministry partners will be doing everything from directing traffic, preparing meals, distributing gifts, and praying for our guests.
How you can pray:
-
- Pray that our team would see each person they serve as if they were serving Christ himself.
- Pray that each person serving would be obedient to how God is calling them to serve.
- Pray that they would use their gifts and skills to serve in a way that glorifies him and demonstrates the love of Christ to others.
Community Reception
We are excited to be able to minister to over 200 people through this event.
How you can pray:
-
- Pray for each guest that visits our campus, that they would recognize the presence of God in our team members, and that they would know that our church is one that offers hope and healing to those in need, through our Savior.
- With each meal and gift that is received, and as our team interacts with and prays for our guests, pray that our community would sense that they are loved and cared by God.
- Pray that our guests would return to allow us to have more opportunities to serve them in Jesus’ name
Gospel Witness
It is our mission to pervade our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How you can pray:
-
- Pray that our team is prepared to give an answer for anyone who has questions.
- Pray that this event presents us with more opportunities to share the gospel with those who attend.
- Pray that many would come to know Christ as Lord and Savior as a result of this event.
