1 Peter 1:8-9 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

Thank you, Father, for the joy that comes from serving you. Thank you for salvation. Forgive us for our lack of faith. Forgive us for our lack of joy in you. Heal us! Build our faith and give us your joy.

Thank you for Rhondi and the hospitality team. Thank you for Rhondi’s faithfulness and the way that her face lights up when she sees people. Thank you for her hard work and her love for you. Give her wisdom in leading the hospitality group. Give her a vision and directions.

Lord, I lift up the hospitality group. Thank you for their faithfulness to you. Give them unity. Encourage them and open their hearts to see what a difference they make at SG. Help them not to grow weary of well doing, but give them steadfastness.

Father, I ask that you might fill them with joy as they greet people. Help your joy to be contagious.

In the glorious name of Jesus,
amen
