Back to Church Sunday is coming up on September 18. We’re having a special service specifically designed to welcome people back to church, so now is a good time to start praying about who you will invite. Eight out of ten people say they are open to visiting church if invited. That’s powerful! Imagine how our community can be transformed if everyone here invited at least one person to come to church.

Two men were talking together. The first challenged the other, “If you are so religious, let’s hear you quote the Lord’s Prayer. I bet you $10.00 you can’t.”
The second responded, “Now I lay my down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.”
The first pulled out his wallet and fished out a ten dollar bill, muttering, “I didn’t think you could do it!”

VBS Prayer Vigil Guide
July 21, 2016
Begin by asking God to clear your mind of all outside distractions. Place all of you thoughts and your spirit with the adults volunteering in VBS and the children who are coming to participate in our week of VBS.
Be silent a few seconds and begin to feel His presence with you. Pray as if you are taking to your best friend. Ask Him to bless the building, the grounds, and all the things used to bring those present to an understanding of who Jesus is and the need they have for Him.

On Mother’s Day we discussed how we can pass on our faith to our children. And looking around in our culture there is a great need for us to reach the children of our community.

As we get ready to begin a brand new series on Sunday’s here at First Christian Church Orangefield on prayer, I would like to share one of my favorite illustrations about prayer.
He sits by himself at a table for two. The uniformed waiter appears at his side. “Would you like to go ahead and order, sir?” The man has, after all, been waiting since seven o’clock—almost half an hour.
“No, thank you,” the man says with a smile. “I’ll wait for her a while longer. How about some more coffee?”
“Certainly, sir.”
The man sits, his deep brown eyes gazing straight through the flowered centerpiece. He fingers his napkin, allowing the sounds of light chatter, tinkling silverware, and mellow music to fill his mind. Dressed in a sport coat and tie with his dark brown hair neatly combed, he projects a clean-cut and welcoming image. You get the sense that he wants his companion to feel important, respected, loved. Yet he’s not so formal as to make one uncomfortable. Having taken every precaution to make others feel at ease with him, still, he sits alone. The waiter returns to fill the man’s coffee cup.
