Gracious God;

We come to you praising your holy name. Hearts are being lifted up to heaven because of the wonderful fellowship you have provided in our congregation. This is your church O Lord, thank you for the worship and praise, thank you for how you have sustained us as a body of believers.

Father, if we have been faithful and if it is your will, we would ask that you enlarge our numbers. Let us make an even louder, more joyful noise! Let us do more to serve you! Bring the lost so that they may find Jesus. Bring believers so that they may be encouraged and encourage others.

Lord, let us have 200 worshipers. With your help, we will welcome them, give them an opportunity to worship you, and provide a place for them to meet and walk with their Lord and Savior. Father, we cannot get this many people on our own but we are ready for a God sized gift to be sent to us. Let us staff the doors to let them in. Let us prepare the banquet to feed the 200 who will be with us. We will have the bulletins ready and hosts ready to shake hands. You will be lifted up and glorified. Thank you that you are already at work in the hearts of those who will be in attendance. Thank you Lord, for the opportunity to serve you and your people.

Thank you for answering our prayer. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
