Let Us Pray Together

The Apostle Paul writes to the church at Ephesus, “I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason, I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers… ” Here Paul provides a poignant paradigm for pastoral prayer.

First Baptist Family, from the day I received the pastoral vacancy announcement to now, I have remembered you in my prayers. God placed a burden for you in my heart, so I prayed for you individually, I prayed for this ministry, I prayed for God to keep you through COVID-19, and I prayed for the surrounding community. I took seriously Paul’s witness that pastoral leaders pray for their church

When we survey the book of Acts, we learn that Paul prayed for the church and with the church. Prayer is a foundational spiritual discipline for God’s people. In prayer, we connect and commune with God. Through prayer, we are guided, inspired, and strengthened by God; Incredible things happen when God’s people pray together.

Since we are looking for God to do incredible things, we need your presence in prayer every Wednesday from 6:30pm to 7:15pm. We are excited to resume in-person prayer starting on Wednesday, April 12, 2023. For those unable to attend in-person, we will continue to use the dial-in service. Whether you join in person or by phone, we trust that God will hear our prayers and grant us grace.

In Christ’s Love,

Pastor Donna Owusu-Ansah
