Heavenly Father, we are not ashamed of the gospel, for it is Your power for salvation to everyone who believes, everyone who hears the word of Christ to embrace the gift of faith. We ask for Your hand of blessing upon our Taste of Hosanna Open House Evangelism Sunday. Holy Spirit, instill in us boldness and unashamed courage to bring our siblings, parents, relatives, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and those sheep of Your pasture that You are searching for. Help us love them to Jesus through Hosanna, with great patience and gentleness in Your Son, that they might hear the word of Christ and believe. Fill the time of worship, the Word, and the table with great joy and fullness of Your Spirit’s presence to draw everyone to look upon Jesus Christ and be saved. We thank you for graduating Jonah & Eliana from preschool, as well as all the youth and college graduates – help them walk in the next step that is Your way to bring You most glory. We thank You for calling us to this particular body of Hosanna, adding to our number through brother Sam Loh, and all You are doing to restore and rebuild our AGAPE life group family. Bless the grilled cookout tonight with sweet fellowship in Your name. Help raise Your communion servants through this Saturday’s table/chairs setup, and next week let us arise with You in Your ascension Sunday to recall You are not here, but have risen and are exalted to the right hand of the Father, in the name of the exalted and risen Savior our Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & amen.

Scripture:
 
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 JOHN 1:7)
 
Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (HEBREWS 10:25)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You Your precious Hosanna covenant family and the fellowship we share in the light of Your Son. If we walk in the light, as Jesus is in the light, we can have this beautiful fellowship with one another called the Church, with the blood of our Lord Jesus, Your eternal Son, cleansing us from all sin. At next Sunday’s picnic at Andrew Brown Park East, grant us this cleansing fellowship, not only in the light of a sunny day but also in the light of the blood of Your only Son. Strengthen Your servants prepping for this blessed picnic. Flourish our devotion to Your teaching, breaking bread, praying, and fellowship with each other. Help us not neglect meeting together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another all the more to do so as we see Your great Day of Christ’s return drawing near. We thank You for the fellowship with Bethany Korean community, the answered prayer for bringing Reverend Soo-young Song to shepherd our youth. Thank You for the provision of the servants from Collin County Chinese Fellowship to bless us with their spiritual gifts of praise. Lord, may all the logistics of the new 10:30am worship start-time be adjusted well to make Your Word flourish to both our Hosanna and youth services. Bless the Honduras mission team training today and may Your strengthening joy fill this Saturday’s life group with the Jeng’s shepherdship. May all these fellowships bring us closer to one another and to the light of Your Son, whose blood covers all our sins, through Jesus Christ our light and Lord, Amen & amen.
