Prayer for Neighborhood Church

(Neighborhood Church owns the building that Watershed holds its Thursday gatherings in. We'd like them to be more than a space-provider. We'd like to have a partnership in ministry. So if you are part of Watershed, or support Watershed, please join me in praying for Neighborhood Church.)

Father God,

You moved Maranatha Bible Church out of the building that Watershed meets in, and you moved Neighborhood Church in. Neighborhood Church has chosen to continue to support Watershed like Maranatha did, and I thank you for providing for us.

God, I pray that you will help Neighborhood Church to truly become a church for the neighborhood. They are new to the area, and still meeting neighbors. Help them to show Christ-like love to the people in the area so that they become a trusted, central part of the community. Please give them the willingness to continue reaching out, and give the community the willingness to accept the love that the members of Neighborhood Church are showing.

I pray that as this body of believers loves their neighbors, you would draw people to yourself, enlarging your kingdom and your Church.

And if there are ways that Watershed can help Neighborhood Church in reaching or serving its neighbors, whether directly or indirectly, please make that apparent. Please allow Watershed to be a blessing to Neighborhood Church, not a burden.

God, I pray that you would bless this neighborhood through Neighborhood Church, and I pray that you would receive the credit, the praise, and the glory for the blessings provided.

Amen.
