At our Palm Sunday service of the Lord’s Supper we reflected on the meaning of “The Eucharist” which is from a root word for “thanksgiving.” Folks in attendance wrote out prayers of thanksgiving which were read during the celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
Here are a few of the prayers …
“God, I thank you for my wonderful family — both my blood Kin and my brothers and sisters in Chrst here at Sunny Hills.”
“Thank you God for clearing my mind and focusing it anew upon You.”
“We’re thankful for out health and our Sunny Hills family!”
“I am very thankful for every blessing in my life. My health, my freedom, my husband, and my three beautiful children, my family, my church family and for Jesus dying on the cross fro my sins. I am very thankful that I can worship God freely in my everyday life.”
“Thank You, Lord for bringing us all together, under this roof, to be on great family. I am so glad to be part of Sunny Hills and to serve You.”
“We are thankful for Alan and Kim and Sunny Hills Church helping us grow closer to God.”
