This week has been such a beautiful reminder of the power and importance of prayer. Having the auditorium open as a space for prayer has been deeply encouraging. A quiet space where hearts can slow, minds can rest and we can meet with God in His presence. There is something truly sacred about a space set aside for connecting with our Creator, a gentle reminder that prayer is not just something we do, but an invitation into relationship.

Jesus taught us so much about prayer. He encouraged His followers to pray persistently, humbly, and with faith, as we read in Luke 11:9-10. “So I say to you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Prayer is not only about bringing requests before God, it’s the heart of our walk with Him, opening our hearts, sharing our joys and struggles, and allowing His Spirit to guide us each day. 

May we be encouraged this week, as we find time for quiet moments of prayer,

allowing God to guide, strengthen, and fill us with hope.

God bless, Mel
