Prayers of the congregation
Inspirations,thoughts, and devotions for today
Trains of Thought
Some trains of though need to be derailed. If others could read your mind would you be embarrassed? If so, flip the switch and the train's track and choose to focus on something worthy of God's time and praise. God can use you to make a difference wherever you are. Jeremiah 29:11 encourages you to embrace your current place and circumstances t survive and thrive knowing that God has a plan for you and how you can be of service to others here and now. Be still and let God work through You to make a change in the world.
God Finds a Way
Finding a way when there appears to be none seems to be Gods specialty. What might be possible for the dry bones in us? What possibilities await parts of me and my community that seem to be dried up or cut off?
Re-read the story of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37. It is a prophetic vision where God shows the prophet Ezekiel a valley full of dry bones, representing the hopeless state of Israel in exile. God commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones, which then rattle together, form flesh, and come to life by the spirit/breath of God symbolizing national restoration and resurrection.
Give Generously
Dear God: when I want to tighten my grip on my money and possessions, please remind me that everything I have comes from you and you have called me to give generously. AMEN
Experience God's Presence
God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before Him. Psalm 18:20. When I lack strength to carry on, I will turn to God and trust that God will help me. God gives me the strength and inspiration to keep going and not grow weary. God goes where the problems are! Jesus understands our deep weariness. God does not rattle the sword every time He is distressed with my behavior but stands beside me guiding me gently back onto the path of His design.
Loving God, help me hear as You speak to me today and help me believe in miracles again. I give every part of my life to You. Please fit them all together to make me whole and able to do Your will. When my thoughts wander to things that are not good for me, help me to rein them in and fill my mind with You only. AMEN

Unique Stained Glass Window
- This stained glass window is a copy of a window in a twelfth century church standing on a quiet hill in Boldre, Hampshire, England. This window and the one in England were the only two copies. The church in England burned to the ground and their stained glass window was lost. Ours is the only remaining copy left. It has been in this church for over 100 years.
