Hebrews 11:8-10: Looking forward by faith
8By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; and he set out, not knowing where he was going. 9By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10For he looked forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
May your gracious blessing descend like dew from heaven upon all whom you will gather here for us to serve. Through us we pray that you will care for and love the children of our community, and we pray that we may faithfully show the joy and grace that comes from your Spirit.
We praise you for the joy of beginning a work in your name and for all whose gifts and labor have prepared for this day. May we soon celebrate your presence in this new place of learning and care, and, in the time to come, praise you forever in our eternal home; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord,who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Dear friends, St. Paul Lutheran Church is in the midst of raising up a ministry that will change the look, feel, nature and mission of our congregation. This week the forms are being set for the foundation. It's my prayer that mixed into the concrete will be faith, hope and love.
What's your prayer for Giggles & Grace? Let me know!
(Thank you Dylan for reminding us to have fun while we learn!)
