Daily Calling Prayer for our Cooperative Parish

February 3, 2023 By ClioBethany

We are asking all those connected to Bethany UMC and Otisville UMC to join in prayer at 8:30am and 8:30pm. You can pray at one time or the other or at both times. Many other voices will be joining you at that time. Here’s what we are praying together:

Guiding Spirit,

Fill us with YOUR fire.

Lead us by YOUR light.

Unite us in YOUR calling.

Amen

Why are we using this campfire image? The campfire is a place where people gather together. Also, consider the hymn “Pass it On”. “It only takes a spark, to get a fire going”. This image resonated with us as we were working on this calling prayer.

Mark your calendar and join us every day in this prayer. God is on the move in our cooperative parish. Where is He calling us to be His hands & feet? Share the answers you’ve received from your prayer time with a member of the Bridge Team or with Pastor Kayla. Let’s be in intentional conversation with one another about where God is leading this body of believers.

Stay tuned & Keep praying!

It’s a Wonder-Full Life: Spiritual practice feeds that part of ourselves that is oriented toward
serenity, harmony, truth, compassion, gratitude, love and joy. But these are not always words we use to describe the role of money in our lives. In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a crisis of money
creates vastly diverse reactions from several characters that can hold up a mirror to our own relationships with money.

Do Unto Others: In October 2024, Pastor Sarah led us through a sermon series during a divisive election season where we learned about Doing Unto Others through kindness, compassion, humility, respect and love.

Uncommon Wisdom: In September 2024 Pastor Sarah will share some uncommon biblical wisdom during this 5 part preaching series.

Reshaped: What We’re Made For – In this 4 part series from August 2024 – Pastor Sarah led us through a worship series about getting animated and embracing change. AND we played with a lot of play-do! Experience this series again!

Lay Speakers Includes many sermons from our laity over the years including Jerry Mowl, our All Music Sunday, and most recently Randy Hildebrandt of God’s Country Community Ministry. We also include here a guest clergy speaker, Kim Bos from November of 2023.
