THese went out via email and wanted to post them here:

Some of you know Golden Davis. He is the pastor of Mt Olive church- KC,KS.
SC has supported their ministry in the past.

Golden won a bout with leg cancer last fall but it appears he may be in for another fight this summer as Dr's think he has cancer in one of his lungs. He'll know more Monday.

Please pray for God to remove the Cancer from his lungs.
Please pray that Golden's health will not become a barrier to Golden carrying out God's calling for his life. Please pray for his family

Just wanted to put in a personal prayer request for my Polish daughter, Julia. She leaves 4 weeks from today. Last night at New Community she was very moved by the communion service. She was also extremely contemplative. She painted a polish word on the door and I asked her about it later. The word means, "I believe." Yet when I asked her if she took communion, she said "no" and started to tear up. I asked her why and she said, "I have too many questions." I asked if she wanted to talk last night after NC but she said she didn't have her questions put together. I asked if she'd like to write them down and we could discuss them later. She said she would.

Please pray that God would continue to stir in her heart and make this an unavoidable issue and that we would all be available and willing to sit down with her and let her voice those questions and provide the answers, if it's appropriate.

Thanks so much,
Tracy and Richard Potter

Todays reading was Romans 8.....

(msg) Romans 8:26 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Praying WITH you today for:
*I don't know what it looks like to pray for gas prices but I would like to do that. Pray for all of us to live so focused on Him that when those around us are panicing about the prices we would be a voice or a presence or.... of some kind of assurance. Again I don't know what that looks like but luckily I don't have to.
*School letting out different times this week for the summer break and all High School, College, *Trade School graduates
*Stephanie Duncan health concerns and upcoming test results
*A young woman named Tara

Got a Call Today

Hi Prayer Team,
Got a call today from a friend of my Aunts that lives somewhere in Arkansas (I think-but thats not important anyway) Anyway, I don't know her but she called to ask for prayer for the mother of her grandchildren. Her name is Lucia Pearson and I don't know much more than that....I think she needs help finding her way in Life...I imagine she needs to find.develop.become.grow. and realize a life with Christ. So, please lift her up as you pray.

• Pray for tonites TLC . Roy as he casts vision and for those who attend to see, adopt, get excited about where SC is headed.
• Pray for this weekends seeker service. I remember the days of corporate prayer (maybe just 2 people) praying for all aspects of the Sunday service. All the volunteers, speakers and in particular all who come through the doors that they would hear something that sparks a journey. That they would rub against someone whose journey is vibrant and vital and that that someone would see thier desire and walk with them.

Just read this ? Pray that we become this person..... The most messed up people in the world wanted to hang out with Jesus–do the most messed up people want to hang out with you?

add to and inspire us to pray:

If you haven't yet heard, Stephen Curtis Chapman lost his 5 year old daughter yesterday in a tragic accident...... would love to lift him and his family in prayer.
Continuing to remember China and Myanmaar...South Africa
Baptism classes and for people to feel that pull to find out what it could mean to and for them....
The upcoming election....

That moment
When you are sitting right on the edge of something daring and scary and creative and powerful and perhaps wonderful... and you blink and take a step back.
That's the moment. The moment between you and remarkable. Most people blink. Most people get stuck.
All the hard work and preparation and daring and luck is nothing compared with the ability to not blink.
Seth Godin
(oh to follow God without blinking)...Praying WE would be that kind of people, people praying and listening, following..... who don't blink......
