A Word Before We Pray

Prayer is not a last resort at Faith Temple – it's a first response. Every week this update goes out as an invitation: to slow down, to intercede, and to remember that we are not a collection of individuals navigating life separately. We are a body. What affects one of us affects all of us. Thank you for praying with us.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." – Philippians 4:6

🙌 Follow-Up From Last Week – Giving Thanks

Before we bring new requests, we stop to celebrate what God has done. These are updates from prayer requests our community lifted up last week:

We enthusiastically thank God for answered prayer!

Faith Connections Food Bank – Last week, we prayed over the logistics and the volunteers. God showed up. Over 100 lbs of food collected, hygiene kits assembled, and as many of you have now heard, a guest visiting our church this Sunday! Pray our guest feels at home the moment they walk through the door.

🙏 This Week's Prayer Requests

For Our Congregation:

🙏 Margie Anderson, Sis. Luvenia Smith.

🙏 The 1st Family – Jaslyn, Jasari, and Jaleel, that God’s covering will be on them. Pray for protection, favor, healing, honesty, and hope.

🙏 All Families at Faith Temple who are grieving due to loss. Please pray for all our families as they grieve and make arrangements. Cards can be dropped at the Welcome Table and will be passed along.

🙏 All Faith Temple Seniors – Please pray for all the seniors and their families in our congregation and city facing economic uncertainties.

For Our City:

🙏 First Responders – Pray for sustained support, for housing solutions, and for the mental health of our first responders, wives, and children who are subjected to untold pressures and stress while also having to process trauma.

🙏 Our Unhoused Neighbors – Pray specifically for the safety and dignity of those living on the streets, culverts, sewers, all across our city and the Greater Denver Metro Area. Pray for our outreach team, Faith Connections, as they serve on Fridays.

🙏 Local Schools – Schools will be opening in the Denver Metro over the next 3 weeks. Several Aurora and Denver City schools are navigating staff shortages and increased potential student anxiety. Pray for teachers, counselors, and administrators who are stretched thin and showing up anyway as we prepare for a new school year.

For Our Global COGIC Partners:

🙏 We pray for COGIC missions' growth in all 121 countries worldwide. We know church growth is a blessing and a strain. We pray for wise leadership, Spirit-led ministry, and genuine rest for all Church and House teams worldwide that are pouring themselves out for the cause of Christ and the gospel.

How to Receive Prayer

Every request we receive is treated with care and confidentiality. You can receive prayer in our community both in-person and online.

In-Person – after each service, there’s an open invitation to receive prayer from a prayer leader near the front of the church. The folks that you rub shoulders with in your seats are also more than willing to pray with you right where you are.

Online – we can still stay connected when we’re apart. Submit a prayer request here online at any time. A real prayer warrior is on the other end of the line.
