Friday Focus - becoming welcoming churches

In Acts we are told the church enjoyed the favour of all the people. What reputation does your church have – austere? cliquey? unreal? judgmental? Or is it seen as warm and welcoming to everyone in your community? Is it a place that shows God’s goodness? God’s mercy is wonderful - it can reach anyone. Let it fill our hearts.

(Steve Botham, World Prayer Centre)

Additional Info

  • Pray: Lord, fill our Church with mercy. May we be a home for the prodigals; a sanctuary for the lonely, the angry, and the outcast. You loved the tax collectors, prostitutes and Roman officers. You let the children come when the disciples blocked them. Help us see people with your loving eyes. Make us bringers of mercy, goodness and kindness. Amen.
