Message: “Praying God-Centered Global Prayers” - Pastor Jeff Fisher

Lead Worshiper: Bryan De Groot 

Welcome to Unity Church!

Just like Christmas and Easter, Pentecost marks a significant event in the history of the world. The feast was originally 50 days after the beginning of Passover and celebrated the start of harvest.

After the death and resurrection of Jesus, Pentecost took on a new meaning as the day when the Holy Spirit was poured out on God’s people and launched the mission of the Church to reach the whole world for Jesus. 

This is also why Pentecost has recently been designated as the Global Day of Prayer. Christians around the world today are asking for the blessing of the Spirit to continue his work in bringing Jesus to all peoples. We are joining in the global activity of God this morning by chatting live with one of our missionary families, celebrating Communion as Christ’s body, and centering our attention in our prayers and in our message on God’s blessing to all peoples and nations.

Welcome to Unity Church!  Thank you for joining us this day in worship.  We come to this place each week to give honor and praise to the One who has shown us himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  May we experience the love and joy we find in Jesus.

At the conclusion of our worship time, there will be prayer ministers available to pray with anyone who would like prayer.

Welcome to Unity Church!  We give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his love endures forever. He has done marvelous things and we give him praise. This is why we come to this place.

Today we focus our attention on the destructive pandemic of AIDS that is destroying millions of lives and especially in third world countries like South Africa.  It is far too easy to ignore such a huge crisis like this, but we as the Church, followers of Jesus Christ, must respond and act.

Welcome to Unity Church!

Good morning and Welcome to Unity. We are so glad that you have decided to join us in worship today. May God pour His richest blessings on you and your family today.  Today’s message will conclude the “Crafted” portion of our discipleship series by reflecting on the time element.  Discipleship takes time – a lifetime, to be exact.  We are pressing in to the prize that awaits us, but it will take time.  Today we will specifically reflect on how the Holy Spirit, over a lifetime, shapes us to be more and more like Christ.

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him…Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." - Colossians 3:17, 23

Welcome to Unity! The Lord bless you today and may you find great fellowship with each person here and with God Himself as we worship the King of kings and Lord of lords! 

Welcome to Unity Church!

Good morning, we are glad that for this day you have chosen to worship with us as we seek the Lord together! It is our desire that as you seek Him you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart (Jeremiah 29). Today's message focuses our attention on how God's Word and Spirit shape us as disciples of Christ. Just as a wood craftsman takes great care in carving, sanding, and finishing his work of art, so it is with us in the hands of God. Through His Word and Spirit, our souls and our whole beings take shape as followers of Christ. Beyond that, this same Word and Spirit influences, shapes, and impacts our world through us when place our whole life in the hands of the Master Craftsman: Please remember in prayer our Prison Ministry team at the St. Cloud Prison this morning.

Welcome to Unity Church!

As we gather for worship today, may you experience both the communion of the saints and communion with the Lord. This morning we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, remembering God's ultimate gift to us in Jesus Christ. All who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are invited to join us at the Table.

Disciples Continues…  Today we begin our study of what it means to be Crafted as disciples of Jesus. Our focus during the season of Lent will be on our need for God to shape each part of our lives.  Small group guides are available in the Fellowship Hall.
