Prayer
Springwood is a community of prayer...
It is by prayer that we move God to change the world.
And it is by prayer that God works to change us.
Prayer and Bible reading go together, each leading into the other, as God's Spirit works to shape and lead us. A good practice to prepare yourself for spiritual growth is to begin a discipline of daily devotionals. The Upper Room is one which our congregation gives out free of charge.
Together we are praying for these persons and situations in our church, in our community, and in our world.

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
(Jesus, Matthew 6:9-13,
New International Version)
