40 Days of Prayer - Day 21



Day 21

Tomorrow, most of us will come to CornerStone and worship together with our brothers and sisters in Christ.  But a lot goes on Sunday and there are many people you need to pray for as they prepare to reach, teach, and preach.  It takes a team to make it all come together for God to get the glory.  So today, would you remember some of the CornerStone team members.

Pray for the Usher/Greeters:  These are the people who open the door, shake your hand and greet you with a smile.  They distribute the bulletins and ask if you want an offering envelope.  They answer questions and may help you to your seat.  They even help receive the offering during the service.  They are both young adults and youth.  Pray for them.

Sunday School Teachers:  We have two wonderful ladies that teach your children.  They faithful prepare the lessons and activities for the day.  Which means they are studying the lesson, finding crafts for the activities, and praying for your children during the week.  Sometimes we only have one person to teach and sometime up to seven.  Would you remember to pray for them?
Kid’s Church Teachers:  During our Sunday services, the kids are celebrating together doing activities and learning more about God.  Our teachers work hard in getting ready for the day and anticipating many kids to come.  Pray for them as they study and teach both preschoolers and children.  They need your support and encouragement.

Worship Singers:  On Wednesday nights, the worship singers (aka Praise Team) practice the songs for Sunday.  Some of the songs are new to them (and us) and so they try to get the tempo, the words and the flow of each song.  In addition, they try to identify with the meaning of the songs.  Pray for their voices.

Audio and Visual Crew:  You may not realize it, but did you know we have an Audio and Visual Crew.  They make sure that you can hear the music, singers, and Pastor Waldo.  They make sure the music video is played on cure and also make sure to display the Bible verse on the screen.  They make adjustments in the middle of service at times you may not realize.  One time, they had to reboot the computer in the middle of service.  They are always trying to make the worship experience the best as possibly they can.

Guests:  We need to pray for all those who God is bringing.  They are guests in God’s house.  Pray for those who come regularly and also pray for those who might experience CornerStone for the first time.  Pray that you would invite and bring someone to church tomorrow.  Pray that our guests will discover how they can have a relationship with God.

Pastors:  Will you take a moment to pray for both Pastor Waldo and Pastor Alex.  Both have been sick with cold like symptoms.  Pray that their voices would be clear tomorrow.  Pray that the message of God would communicate to everyone tomorrow.  Pray that God would use them in a vibrant and mighty way.

We have a lot of people to pray for.  So let’s get started!

And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.  Acts 14:27
