This week's message reminds us why prayer always comes before mission. Before we go, we pause to align our hearts with God’s love, humility, and purpose.

In this sermon, we explore what it means to be sent as disciples of Jesus—learning not only through belief, but through action. Drawing from Scripture, we’re reminded that loving God and loving people is at the heart of the Gospel, and that outreach is never about our own strength, but about the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Together, we reflect on why prayer:
• Aligns our hearts with God’s compassion
• Grounds us in humility
• Invites the power of the Holy Spirit
• Opens doors for connection
• Prepares us for spiritual resistance
• Reminds us that the harvest belongs to God

As a church committed to inclusion and community, we pray before we go—because we depend on God for wisdom, courage, and love. Join us as we come together in prayer, trusting God to lead us as we carry the love of Christ into our world.
