 Note the schedule change that was made in July and August 2007. We switched First UMC with First Christian Church and they will be switched back to the original positions they occupied. We also adjusted the schedule for Jan & Feb to accommodate some other conflicts. We switched Coggin Ave with Bangs. Coggin has asked to be removed from the rotation, so Bangs will be next on the schedule. (See the schedule elsewhere in this newsletter.)

We have been asked to pray the following prayer every Friday at 11:00AM, to support the upcoming 2008 General Conference of the UMC to be held in Ft. Worth, April & May 2008.  

PRAYER—   O Lord God Almighty, we, members of the UMC of this world, humbly pray for your cleansing, healing and guiding breath for all aspects of the 2008 Gen Conf of the UMC. Guide us, we pray, as we tend to all the details in preparation for Gen Conf; as the delegates for both the Jurisdictional and General Conferences prepare for their arduous tasks, deliberate on all the issues encompassed and discern your will in their actions and votes; and Dear Lord, for every other small, medium and large issue they may face as they proceed through their conferences. 
O Lord of our Hearts, we pray that the actions of the Gen Conf itself be an act of prayer and worship and that all attending, supporting and praying be totally attentive to your Holy Spirit and Your desires. We pray that through it all, we may follow     the lead of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. O Father, may       we be able to let go and entrust all things to You.
O Holy One, Be Our Vision…
For the Church catholic…
For the UM Conference  
For the United Methodist General Conference
 We humbly pray for Your guidance, Your strength and Your wisdom! O Almighty and glorious God, be our vision… For the World…We pray for Your justice and Your peace through Your Amazing Grace…Help us to see what You want us to see… Help- us to be what You want us to be…Dear Lord, permit our breathing to lead us into a place of ever deepening faith. Let us be awake to Your Divine indwelling where You promise, “I shall live in them and I shall walk the corridors of their hearts.” Let this be a time of..Holy listening…Holy conversations..and Holy Conferencing. Amen!
             
So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. Col 3:1-4  NIV
