A Call to Prayer

A Call to Prayer
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

As God’s people, we must always seek our Lord’s heart first in all things. As is indicated in the above verse, we are called to humble ourselves, pray, and seek the face of the Lord. The Lord has promised his people that if they will do this, he will hear and he will respond. The Riverside Community Church is joining for 3-days of prayer Nov. 7th-to-10th. It is our desire to seek out God’s will pertaining to where Riverside is to have a home. But, we must first humble ourselves and make God’s Word have a home in our heart.

We believe that God desires for Riverside to be a people who serve the world around them and show God’s love through the act of selfless service. During this prayer we are seeking to align ourselves with God’s heart for our church. If we have God’s heart for the community, then God will put us where he desires us to be to serve the community.

Our intent is to seek God’s face thus allowing his Kingdom to break through. We are asking members of the Riverside to sign up for specific time periods through out the 72- hour period so that we will maintain a continuous and unbroken prayer chain for three days.

God will do powerful and amazing things for this Church when we seek him intentionally in continuous prayer. Please contact Cecily Breig @ 210-363-5516 to sign up for a time slot on our prayer list. Thank you and God Bless
