Covered Dish Supper on the Wednesday after the Second Sunday of every month.

Developed by Claude King, Prayer Boot Camps are a flexible prayer

training experience to provide basic training in prayer. It is not just

learning about prayer. It is learning to pray by praying together. The

content is based on The Battle Plan for Prayer by Stephen and Alex

Kendrick, writers of War Room.

Mark Mirza, your facilitator, was at a pre-showing of the movie War Room, where he

remembers Claude King saying, “Men and women are going to leave this movie and

go to their pastors and they are going to say, ‘Teach us to pray like that” and the

question is, will they be able to?”

Mark Mirza will facilitate the Prayer Boot Camp. He

founded Common Thread Ministries in November, 2010

and teaches on prayer nearly every weekend. He is an

author of numerous books on prayer and recently

completed his first novel, The Pray-ers. He is

also on the State of Georgia Coordination

Team for the National Day of Prayer.

He and his wife, Naida, live in downtown

Atlanta, but they spend most of their free

time in Gainesville. Mark has been teaching

prayer for over a decade.

Join us for a viewing of War Room at FBC on June 4, at 6 PM.

Pastor Tom

We have spent time together in

worship on Sunday nights over the

last month focusing our time on the

power of a simple prayer. For us to

grow in our relationship with God, it

is very important for us to connect

with Him each day. As we acknowl-

edge how good of a Father our

awesome God is, we will begin to

praise Him. Our Wednesday night

time together in Psalm 136 affirms

this notion. When we tell God how

good He is and tell Him, "His faithful

love endures forever," then we will

break out in praise just like the

Psalmist did for the entire chapter.

As we realize that God answers our

prayers and uses the special time

with Him to help us adjust from our

way of thinking to His way, we come

to realize that He will do the same

for others. Intercession begins in our

life as we pray for others because

they need God in their life as much

as we do. When we commit daily for

God to change us to follow Him, we

ask Him to do that within our entire

church.

To assist and encourage our church

family, we have several additional

prayer emphasis opportunities

coming up. On June 4, we will be

showing the motion picture hit, War

Room in our sanctuary at 6 pm. The

following Saturday at Guido

Gardens, Mark Mirza will be leading

a one day Prayer Boot Camp from

9:30 am - 2 pm. Would you consider

being one of 50 members in our

church who would commit to daily

pray for our church as well as for me

and my family? As we cry out to God

each morning, may we, like the

Psalmist, wait in expectation of the

great and mighty acts that God is

already in the process of doing. If it is

your desire to see the unleashing of

God in our worship services each

week, would you consider being one

of the mighty Prayer warriors who will

be a part of our Pulpit Ministry? It is

my desire to have 2 people in our

prayer room praying for the mighty

moving of God each time we meet for

worship.

As we cry out to God as a church

family and experience a heart

connection with Him and each other,

I know the best is yet to come!
