Prayer Week
The order of events for our Prayer Week has changed. On Sabbath, we will begin by welcoming guest speaker, Pastor Ron Schultz, for Prayer Sabbath. All adult Sabbath School classes will meet with Pastor Ron Schultz in the Fellowship Hall at 10 a.m. On Tuesday, September 2, we will have a special prayer gathering in the Fireside Room at 7 p.m. to ask God to grow and deepen our church prayer life and to bless A Better Story, our fall series. On Sabbath, September 6, we will spend some time at the end of our worship service praying in the various spaces of our church, consecrating them for God’s purposes and His glory. To conclude our Prayer Week on September 6, everyone is invited to the Bellingham SDA Church at 5:30 p.m. to participate in the Prayer Train event with Pastor Randy Maxwell and other prayer warriors seeking God’s Spirit and revival.
August 30 Prayer Sabbath Details:
Sabbath School at 10 AM in the Fellowship Hall - “Prayer Lab 101: Kingdom Praying in Chaotic Times”
Based on Jesus’ challenge to last-day disciples, we’ll experience fresh ways to pray in challenging times.
Sabbath Worship Service - “Sail Raising: All Hands on Deck”
Based on the experiences of the early church, we’ll explore why and how the early Christians were such a dynamic, transformative community of faith. The message will culminate in a current story of how God is able to do it again when the church raises the collective sail of prayer.
About Our Prayer Sabbath Speaker:
Pastor Ron Schultz served the Bellingham Church district for over six years. He recently retired in March following 45 years of formal pastoral ministry. He and his wife, Marian who recently retired as a licensed clinical social worker, continue to live in Ferndale. They especially enjoy spending time with their daughter and her family who lives in Oregon. Prior to serving in the WA Conference, Ron served for many years as a pastor in the Upper Columbia Conference as well as a pastor and prayer coordinator in the Illinois Conference. He has made it his life commitment to lead people to prayer and in prayer because Jesus is worthy.
