Philippians 1:3-6
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

Father we praise you because you are perfect and the source of all things. Thank you for the provision of community. Lord, at times we lack confidence in you. We SAY that we trust you and then we try to work out the details without trusting you. Sometimes it is so hard to keep our eyes in your direction. Fill us with confidence in you.

Thank you for the joy that it is to pray for the good people of Sun Grove. Thank you for those that give their hearts and time to set up. Thank you for the good work that you’ve begun in Sun Grove. Thank you for the Roadies and all those that set up and take down each Sunday.

Thank you for the love and care that is their gift to you. You see what they are doing and you are working in their hearts ‘a good work’. Continue it – bring those that are faithful on Sunday mornings to a place where they are obedient daily. Bless them as their gifts for your glory become habits as they see needs around them to fill. Perfect them until the day Christ returns.
In Jesus name,
Amen
