Scripture:
 
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. (HEBREWS 12:11)
 
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)
 
Prayer (written by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, for the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but we trust that later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. May each of us examine ourselves, to keep under Your control, lest after preaching to others we ourselves should be disqualified. Let us not despise Your discipline or be weary of Your reproof, for You reprove only those you love, as a father does to the son in whom he delights. Would Your Kingdom advance through our fellowship of the Fall Picnic next Sunday. Keep us all safe and overflowing with your joy. Grant us good weather so we can enjoy You presence among us. Let us all walk in the light, as You are in the light, and have koinonia fellowship with one another, with the blood of Jesus cleansing us from all sin. Thank You for what You will do through the Congregational Meeting and the Hosanna Fall Picnic. We devote them into Your hands, through Jesus Christ our Lord, amen & amen.
