The Beginning...it's going to be AWESOME!

It's just about 5:00 am and the church is all set and ready to be open for "prayer" business. Today we began our 21 Days of Holy Consecration. Heres the run down...I got up at about 4 in order to get the following things done...
1. Turn on the fountain and lights so that when people drive in they'll see the fountain and know that we are open and ready for prayer.
2. I turned on the lights in the sanctuary not too many and not too few, in order to set an inviting atmosphere that encourages prayer.
3. I turned on some soft devotional type music, some English and some Spanish in order to fit our prayer audience.
4. I also set up a welcome table with the following items on it. I wanted everyone to be able to participate and have all the tools that might be needed in order to have a most fruitful prayer time as possible.
a. Bibles
b. Kleenex
c. Notepads
d. Daily devotional (for give-away)
e. veils
I even took the time to take all of the prayer cards out of the backpack and placed them across the altar area. I want people when they come in to be able to see the vast number of needs submitted by their brothers and sisters. I want them to pick up the cards and call out the names and needs written on them.
I know that it's going to be AWESOME!

Experiencing the Great Life!
