Leven BC – We are emerging from a period of change and thankful for all that God has brought us through. We are grateful to God for new people joining us and people exploring faith through the Alpha Course. We also want to pray for those who have found recent changes difficult. As the new school year starts we pray that God’s Spirit would be at work within the gatherings and groups. In each decision we pray we would know God’s wisdom and guidance.

Lord we give thanks that we can worship you in song as well as in so many other ways. We pray today for the worship teams and bands within our churches. Lord, may you pour out your Holy Spirit on these teams as they seek to encourage worshipping hearts and voices. May you give us new songs to sing to you in this season.
