July 2014
The theme this month is everyone being restored to God and to each other.
The scriptures this month:
Acts 15: 16b - 17
God will restore and rebuild the church so the rest of humanity will know that God is real and does love them.
Hosea 14: 2b - 7
From verse 2 and 3, Say to God: forgive all our sins and graciously receive us, so that we may offer you sacrifices of praise. our own strength cannot save us.
From verse 5 - 7, God says: I will be to you as a refreshing dew from Heaven. You will blossom like the lily, you will send roots deep into my love and grow strong like mighty trees. You will return to my place of safety. You will flourish like grain and be fruitful like grape vines. You will be fragrant as a fine wine.

God wants everyone to belong and succeed at life and be happy. God is one of restoration!

Let's remember that we are all part of God'S creation. It doesn't matter what your understanding is, your colour of skin or your sexuality. We all belong to God. We are all loved by God and are a part of each other.

Let's pray that God pour out the Holy Spirit on this neighbourhood so everyone knows that God loves them. Let's pray that all relationships be restored, whether family, friends, co- workers, etc., inside and outside the church.

Pray for current events:
Let's pray for everyone suffering persecution all over the world, not just those in the LGBTQ Community.
Let's pray for those who lost loved ones in the air crashes in the past few months.
Let's pray for peace in the areas where there is fighting.
We will remember to pray for the current events during our times of prayer for our community.
