Let Us Pray

“Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

“Let us pray.” It is a simple statement and one that we often hear in worship. It is a powerful invitation to encounter the living God, the One who made us and who has called us to be at Glen Mar at this particular point in its history. It is an acknowledgment that wherever two or more gather in the name of Jesus, there he is in the midst of them. It’s an encounter with a God who has brought us, as people and as a congregation, to this place and time so that God can use us to make a difference in the lives of people: some we already know, some we haven’t met yet, and some whose names we may never know.

People of Glen Mar Church, we believe your presence here at this time is no accident. As we get ready to make a difference in our world from a new site in the name of Jesus Christ, we invite you to enter into a time of being open, listening and connecting with God. People of Glen Mar Church, “Let us pray.” Starting on February 6 (Ash Wednesday), let us pray together for one hundred days, as an act of hope, preparation and commitment.
