As a part of our family and the body of Christ, YOU are invited to step in as one of our Partners in Prayer for this school year!
Partners in Prayer will be randomly assigned a teacher or staff member from LSA or ELC. You may have one to three assigned to you, depending on your willingness and preference (between the two schools we have around 80 people to cover and encourage). You as the Partner in Prayer may indicate a preference for which program, if you have a special place in your heart for the ELC or the LSA in particular.
It’s as simple as that – a few small things that will have a great impact and make a difference in the lives of the leaders of our schools. Maybe you have heard, “Everyone wins when the leader gets better.” By investing in the lives of those who lead our schools and classrooms, you will also help ensure the success of the students and families they encounter.
Are you interested in praying for one to three teachers or staff members, and sending along a monthly note of encouragement? Then get started now by completing the PARTNERS IN PRAYER INTEREST FORM available on our website and let us know how you are ready to be a partner.
Our team leader Jennifer Suckow will be in touch with you in the weeks following, sharing your match(es) with you.
Don’t have the option to complete the online form? That’s ok! Contact our Church Office at 217-423-6955 and we can assist you in the sign up process. Be sure to share your phone number and mailing address, so our team can mail your letter and assignment to you and help you get started.
If you have any questions, you can contact Jennifer Suckow at jennifers@spldecatur.org or call the Church Office at 217-423-6955.
What are you quick to do? What are you slow to do? The Bible tells us exactly what we can be quick and slow to do by the power of the Spirit inside of us. Read about it in James 1:19-21
When we grumble, we reject joy. Grumbling puts us and our own expectations above the purposes of God. Instead, Paul gives us this challenge, “do everything without grumbling or arguing.” How? Read to find out.
Scripture is clear that it is by Jesus’ grace alone that we are redeemed and saved. Our works don’t earn us salvation. So, what exactly is Paul talking about in this passage from Philippians 2? Read more to find out.
