Pastor Nate’s Weekly Prayer for LCR
For Our Community: Lord God, you have blessed us with
wonderful places to live, raise families, and to worship in
freedom. Bless our local communities, and give our local leaders
your strength and peace as they continue to serve. Bless all
those who keep our community safe, and keep them in your
loving care. Bless this congregation, so that we can serve our
community in everything we say and do. Amen.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for
their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another
to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm,
but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might
prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—
a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Eccl. 4:9-12
