We are starting a new series this Sunday on the subject of prayer entitled, G-link. We have so many avenues of communication today, internet, texting, video conference calling etc., but we are living in a relatively isolated society. It seems that technology has given us the means to communicate anywhere and anyhow, but we are left with feelings of emptiness and loneliness, not really finding the connections and deep relationships we truly desire.

There is however one link that can bring "fulness of joy" and the depth that we need to function as true human beings, and that is the "G-link." The communication link between us and our Creator is vital to our existence, it is as one minister described, "spiritual breathing."

But let's be real, prayer is one of the most misunderstood disciplines of the believer. Often it is associated with drudgery and boredom, but it does not have to be, it can be the most joyful and highly-anticipated parts of your day.

In this series, we will look at what prayer really is and how to pray effective prayers that will bring God-ordained results. We will study the different kinds of prayer and why prayer is important.

I beleive that you will see that the "G-link" is the way to a peaceful and fullfilling life, I look forward to the study.

On another note continue to pray for our Youth this week as they will be leaving for a missions encounter in Mexico this weekend and return the following weekend. 26 of our young people will be going as well as our youth pastors and youth workers, so continue to pray for their safety and that it will be a productive time of ministry.

I am also praying that this will be a turning point in their lives and that God will speak to them about their future as the are away from their normal routines. May they never be the same again!

Look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

Your Servant,

Greg
