Heavenly Father, thank you for the great opportunity we have to join in with your people at Atherton as they faithfully serve you there. Please help us to be an encouragement to them as we walk alongside them for this weekend. Please help us to strengthen them as we serve and to do so with willing eagerness and with the kind of love that is distinctive of your people. May we be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Please stretch us this weekend and build up our character to reflect the likeness of Jesus more and more. Most of all please help us to point others to the goodness of Jesus and bring him glory rather than ourselves.
Amen
