Hey TEAM,
GREAT blog........ I will share it with other people so they can follow our trip to Germany with us. Thanks to Mei for designing it . She did a wonderful job.
The flower sale is going great. Thanks to all who have worked so hard on this. Let's pray for God's blessings on this fundraising event.
There is POWER in prayer. What if we set a time weekly to pray for our trip and all the many details involved in making this short term missions trip all that God would have it to be. Example: We could set Sunday night at 9:00 as our prayer time. We could all stop whatever we are doing at that time and spend some time praying. We could even invite others to join in this time of prayer from their own homes. What do you think?

Great idea about praying together! Jan suggested we meet at church between services in the morning but that time didn't work for us. I would hope someone would be a prayer list keeker and posts it for all of us on the blog. I have not had time to express my thought yet on the blog and here is Robin's suggestion about prayer time. How wonderful it is to see that the holy Spirit works among us to remind us our need for prayer as a team! Who will keep the prayer list coming? Prayer Leaders? Thanks.
Blessings,

Ephesians 3:7-21
7I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. 8Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. 13I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
A Prayer for the Ephesians
14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
