PENTECOST PRAYER AND PRAISE SERVICE
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:16 encourages us to “approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need” (NASB).
On Sunday May 28th at 3:00 PM, the Pioneer Valley Association will be having a Pentecost Prayer and Praise Service hosted by the Bethlehem Baptist Community Church, 304 Elm Street, Holyoke, MA.
We are inviting your Congregation to join with us and asking you, as Pastors to help us by leading prayers and your Choir/Praise Team/Soloist participate in song.
The Prayer theme is “Revive Us Again”.
The Prayer Focus will center around the acronym “ACTS”, Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. This model of prayer prioritizes our time with God so we first approach Him with reverence (adoration), then repent of the sin in our life (confession), then express our gratitude to Him for all He has done (thanksgiving), and finally submit to Him our requests (supplication).
| |
|
A = Adoration
Songs and Prayers of Praise and Adoration to our God
Scripture says God is worthy or our praise, regardless of what He has given to us or withheld from us. He is worthy simply because He is God.
| |  |
|
C= Confession
Prayers of Confession and Repentance
Admitting and confessing our sin to God so that our prayers will not be hindered and agreeing with Him that we need His Son, Jesus, to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
| |
|
T = Thanksgiving
Prayers of Thankfulness
Thessalonians 5:18 instructs: “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus” and to
practice gratitude to God in everything.
| | |
|
S = Supplication
Philippians 4:6, we’re told not to worry about anything, “but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God.”
Prayers for Revival:
- Churches and Pastors of the Pioneer Valley
- Lost Souls and the Unity of Believers – Rev. Judy Jones, FBC, Palmer
- Raising up of Leaders
- Youth & Young Adults & Elderly
- Families &Marriages
- The Marginalized & Institutionalized
| |
|
It is our prayer that this will be a great time of the Spirit’s move in all of us.
In His Service,
Theresa

Pastor, First Baptist Holyoke
