On Tuesday, March 4th, thirty of our Violet members gathered for a special night of prayer and worship led by David Brown and Mark Painter of our prayer team. Our time consisted of singing familiar worship music, as well as praying through the ACTS model of prayer.
This model of prayer is a structured approach to corporate prayer gatherings using this acronym (ACTS), which stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.
Here are definitions of each element:
A - Adoration: This involves praising God for who He is and what He has done, focusing on His greatness and goodness.
C - Confession: This is a time to acknowledge your sins and ask for forgiveness, expressing sorrow for your shortcomings and seeking God's cleansing.
T - Thanksgiving: Express gratitude for God's blessings and provision, acknowledging His love and care.
S - Supplication: This involves asking God for your needs and the needs of others, seeking His guidance, wisdom, and provision.
Our goal in our corporate prayer is that our church and community responds to the Good News of Jesus Christ and are transformed by the Word of God. Our prayer team gathers each Tuesday in the VioletCafé from 6-7 PM.
Our next afternoon of prayer and worship is on Sunday, July 7th, at 12:30 PM after the second worship service. We hope to see you there.
