Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our debts,
as we have forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

We’re to focus on the things God cares about in prayer, to pray for the things He desires to be true in our world. He also teaches us to ask and make request. The following requests were to submitted for corporate prayer this week. Thanks for joining with us!

2. Pray for LifeConnection Community Groups–that lives would be transformed.

Great controversy and confusion surrounds the perception of gender roles, sexuality, and identity in our homes, in our churches, and in our city.  What light does the Gospel bring to bear on these poignant and important issues? In the glamorized sexual revolution of today, can Scripture provide insight and application that neither conforms nor exaggerates? More than just hot topics in our culture, these issues expose fundamental attitudes toward God, His creation, and His church.

Week 2: Him – Biblical Masculinity

Scripture: Ephesians 5:22-33

Psalm 33:1-3
“Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings! Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.”

Noland Road Baptist Church has graciously invited LifeConnection to take part in their Financial Peace University Classes this spring.  We want to invite you to consider taking part in this great opportunity.  Here is more information from their web site:

Learn from national talk radio host and best selling author Dave Ramsey about how to gain Financial Peace in these uncertain times.  The Financial Peace University course is a 13 week DVD teaching series hosted by Dave Ramsey and then facilitated in a small group setting to apply and ask questions.

There are over 800 verses of scripture that teach about money and the wise use and management of money, yet they are so often overlooked and ignored.  To be a disciple of Jesus Christ in this world means that every area of our lives are in line with the biblical teaching on what it means to be a follower of Christ.

Financial Peace University  (FPU) is NOT a “Stewardship Campaign” or a way to guilt you into giving, but a program of life instruction to move you from living paycheck to paycheck to being financially free!

Sign up for this exciting journey to get your financial house in order.  Classes will be held on Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday nights at 6:15 to 8:15pm.  No childcare except regular Wednesday evening activities for children (AWANA and nursery for babies).

There is a cost for the materials of $93.00.  This cost can be divided out into the 13 weeks at approximately $7.15 per week–about the cost of eating lunch out about once a week!  Classes will start on Sunday February 21, 2010.

Sign up today at their web site: HERE.

In this video the LifeConnection Ministry Team reads those emails.  We shared this video on Sunday as part of our 2 year Anniversary Celebration.  How cool is it to see what God has done in the lives of people through the ministry of his Church.

If you would like to share what God has done in your life this past year during you involvement at LifeConnection please email us.  In a future post we’ll share these anonymously.
