Intentionally Act
- Pray for those who will attend our service this Sunday, that they will be edified, encouraged where most needed, convicted where appropirate, and enlightened in how to apply the message.
- Pray for those who will be leading the service, that they will serve in a way that edifies the entire congregation: Dawson Bryant, music; Sam Karl, prayer and Scripture reading; Dr. Ben Awbrey, teaching.
- Meditate on the songs for this Sunday and sing them through the weekend to prepare your heart to sing as a whole congregation. What are these songs saying about who God is and how we should respond to him?
