The Pastor Search Committee believes prayer is our best tool for filling the pulpit

with the exact man God has called to be our pastor.

So here are some daily prayer points for you to go by as you cover the pastor

search in prayer.

There will be cards at church for you to pick up as well, with the prayer

prompts to remind you to pray.

You can tape the card to your mirror, your dashboard, use them as a book

mark in your daily Bible reading, etc.

THANK YOU for your prayer support!

Week 10 Prayer Prompts

Power of Prayer Praying for God’s chosen servant to be our next Pastor:

and decision making.

Praying for West Lynchburg Baptist Church:

Pray that a burden for deep and urgent prayer permeates the church

God’s vision for His church.

Pray that the search committee makes wise use of their time during

1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world

or anything in the world. If anyone

loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For every-thing in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,

and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from

the world. - NIV

Serving, Laughing, Playing & Praying…Because WLBC Members Live Life With Hope

Deacon of the Week: Sam Love

Pray for the people of South Asia.

Book of the Week recommendation:

Love Takes Wing by Janette Oke - 7th Book in Series of 8 (Christian Fiction/Romance)

“As Belinda trains as a nurse for her older brother, Doctor Luke, and time goes by,

she sees those she’s grown up with getting married and settling into their own lives.

Belinda becomes restless. What had seemed exciting and fresh becomes dull and routine - the same people, the same work, the same surroundings, the same fellows she’s known since school days.

Belinda meets an elderly woman who needs nursing care and jumps at the invi-tation to go to Boston-a large, “civilized”

city with cultural opportunities she’s never even dreamed of in their little prairie town. But in spite of financial security, opportuni-ty for overseas travel and countless new

experiences, Belinda finds herself restless, lonely and empty inside.“
