You are encouraged to engage in weekly sermon preparation.  Your worship experience can be greatly enhanced by reading and studying the scripture lessons in advance.  To help you do this, we have listed below the Biblical readings for each Sunday in March.  Take some time during each week to read ahead and see what kind of a sermon God plants in your heart.

March Activities And Beyond

Dear friends in Christ,
It is great to see the youth at House of Prayer  involved in worship services on Wednesdays and Sundays.  Statistically, youth who participate in worship are more likely to feel nurtured by the gift of faith and more likely to return to church after graduation.   Also, since the youth are part of the church, they ought to be empowered and be given a stake at HOP.  From this point on, I would like to see HOP youth lead a part of worship on a weekly basis.  

Also, in March there will be a forum on healing: Saturday morning, March 20th.  There was a point when I was very ill and was in pain for 2-3 years.  The doctor was unable to diagnose my problems.  Since then, I decided I needed to take ownership of my own health, and I researched and learned a lot about healing on my own.  I have also experimented with a lot of alternative and spiritual treatments.  I have discovered a great deal about the connection between body, mind, and the spirit.  A lot of resources about healing will be presented.  I will also invite a few speakers from HOP who have had experiences with healing.  I urge anyone who is struggling with physical and mental health to come to the Saturday morning forum.

God’s Peace,
Intern Pastor Joseph
