A group of us from my Sunday Night Bible study
[that meets here at Shepherd's Walk]
have planned
a special banquet meal
to serve to our guests we have invited over the past few weeks
- many of them strangers to us.
Our desire is to simple make them feel 'special'...
uniquely made by God - as He sees them
and to cultivate relationships where there were none.

Living King - JESUS?

Dear Sweet Sister,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea to have such a banquet planned. I wish I could be there to be a part of it all, but I will be here praying for all of you to have the most special time and I pray that if those that you have invited do not know Jesus, that He will use all of you in very, very special ways to reach each one of them to bring them to their salvation. Oh what a mighty time it will be Stephanie.
Father God,
I humbly come before you and ask for your hand of blessing upon this wonderful banquet planned at Shepherd's Walk in honor of celebrating the birth of the Living King - JESUS. I ask that you bring all the people who have been invited and even more to join in this wonderful celebration. I ask that you fill Shepherd's Walk banquet room with your divine presence that night and at all times. This is the time of Great Celebration of our Precious King - Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and may every person who is in attendance be filled with a JOY that they can't fully comprehend, that goes way beyond their understanding in Jesus precious name I pray. Amen.
Love you dear friend,
