May our prayer today be to continue to recognize Christ s presence in others as we go out into the world after our time together. Question of the Week Who in my life right now do I need to win over for the Lord? Crecimiento en la Fé Cristo está en medio de nosotros aquí reunidos hoy para ofrecer alabanzas y acción de gracias a Dios. Mira a tu alrededor y ve esa presencia en tus hermanas y hermanos. Que nuestra oración de hoy se eleve para que se nos concede reconocer a Cristo en todos los demás, aun después de dejar este lugar y salgamos al mundo. Pregunta de la Semana A qué persona, que es parte de mi vida, debo en este momento preciso ganar para el Señor? Cómo trato a aquellos que me han ofendido o que se han separado de la comunidad o de la familia? SEPTEMBER 11: PATRIOT DAY Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Mt. 5:4, 6, 7, 9 I PRAY I pray for the broken hearted. I pray for the life not started. I pray for all the living not breathing. I pray for all the souls in need.
