Welcome to 366 Days of Prayer

We are looking forward to a Christ-centered year here at Foothills Church in 2012. Last year, we kept track of our Bible reading with a simple tool (that you can download the Bible Reading Checklist here) and then Tim treated those of us to breakfast on New Year's Day. We also took to consider our tithes to the church.

In 2012, we are again tracking our Bible reading (with breakfast to follow) and taking this opportunity to pledge a tithe to Foothills. And we are introducing 366 Days of Prayer.

Tim started 366 Days of Prayer on Sunday by handing out several blank journals. We'll have more this Sunday and will end up with about nine Prayer Books total.

The Prayer Books are meant to be a place where our church body shares in prayer together. We hope that at the end of 2012 we'll receive all nine books back filled with the passions of our people.

If you have a Prayer Book, write, draw or express your prayers creatively each day that you have it. Make it as creative or simple as you want. Just be sure to use it when you have it. Pass it on to another Footie when you're done. Want to keep it a week? Great; bring it to church the next Sunday and pass it on.

Not sure how to pray? Check the weekly email newsletter or Sunday bulletin for guidance on what we're praying for as a church body.

Want a Prayer Book? Look for one on Sunday or ask your Group Leader to get one.

Further guidance on how or what to pray:
1. Read 1 Timothy Chapter 3 and write a prayer for the Elders, Pastors and Deacons of Foothills.
2. Write a prayer for God to forgive you, change you, heal you, free you, use you and glorify Jesus.
3. Drive around town with fresh eyes and write a prayer for the people, homes and community you see.
4. Write a prayer for the Church in our area.
5. Write a prayer for a friend who hasn't met Jesus.
