Last Night at BSM

September 4, 2016

Last night, Rev. Andy Greenhow began a new series on biblical values with Exodus 5:1-9, starting with the value of labor. He preached on biblical labor not taking us away from worshipping God, but inviting us into freedom and honoring the gifts we have.

Listen to it here.

Our community offered the following prayers:

Please pray for me:

Dear God,

I pray for my fellow coworkers, who have worked day-in + day-out all spring + summer long. I pray that you stay with them while they continue to work tirelessly until the season I over. I pray that work continues to go smoothly while I transition from full time to part time as I go back to school. I ask that you stay with me + help me to finish my final year to the best of my ability.

In your name, I pray.

Amen
