Mid-Week Prayer, September 2

"Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.  The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.  The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.  Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!  Be their shepherd and carry them forever."                      - Psalm 28:6-9

This week's requests:

• Pray that the Church, around the world and here in Memphis, would embrace the hospitality of God in making us his children, and then turn and offer hospitality to the world around us.  
• Pray that the love and welcome of Jesus would capture your heart and make you more like him.
• Since our Savior is a welcoming Savior, pray that those who visit Redeemer will feel his welcoming love in our midst.  Pray that not one visitor would go unwelcomed at our service.  Pray that God would use you to welcome visitors.
