Prayer for the City RECAP

Thanks to everyone who came out for Prayer for the City this past Saturday morning.  We had about 60 people spread out all over our city praying from 8-9am.  In fact, one family told me that after they were done with praying at Second Harvest, they then went to all of their children’s schools, as well as Denzo, and prayed for a few more hours.  That is what it is all about right there– family discipleship.

I get stoked when I hear stories like that.  When dads and moms are intentional about praying with their children, and what’s more, being intentional about teaching them how to pray.  It was great to see so many families out together on Saturday.

We prayed at:

• The Pregnancy Resource Center
• The MLK Center
• Second Harvest
• Alcoa HS
• Maryville HS
• William Blount HS
• Foothills Elementary
• Sandy Springs Park
• The Amphitheater Park
• Downtown Maryville
• The Municipal Building
• Foothills Mall
• Alcoa Business Park
• Maryville College

It really was an amazing morning!

For His Glory,

Greg Gibson

Prayer for the City

This coming Saturday morning, September 1st, Foothills Church will be praying for our city.  I want to encourage you to come out and be a part of this.  In the New Testament, the church is literally called, “the sent ones.”  We want to practice this every week as we gather on Sundays to be exhorted through preaching and to worship through song and giving.  What’s more, we gather throughout the week in homes with one another for fellowship and continued relational discipleship attempting to reflect Acts 4 to the best of our ability.  We gather together and then go out into the world to be the hands and feet of Jesus.  We gather together.  Then out we go.

I hope there is a great turnout this coming Saturday morning for Prayer for the City.  What’s more, this will be a great way to serve as a family and model to your children how to pray for your community.  We gather together.  Then our we go… as a family… children and all.

In the meantime, here is the email our pastoral staff sent.  You can register here.

Prayer for the city is this Saturday, September 1st, from 8:00am to 9:00am. In cooperation with the “Generations” series we want to seek God’s will together as a church and pray for a spiritual awakening in our city. We will meet at FC at 8:00am to get instructions and a prayer guide. Then we will direct you to a strategic location in our city where you will be able to pray for the specific needs of that location.

Join your pastors this Saturday morning as we saturate our city in prayer.

For His Glory,
Your Pastoral Staff
