Community/Community Prayer (English)

20/20 Team Member During the 2007 SJCCC BBQ

Dear Father in Heaven,

Thank you for giving us this wonderful family, this church community, for us to grow in our faith and to walk our spiritual journey. Thank you for blessing us with this wonderful gathering.

Dear Lord, We are here to celebrate, and together we offer to you all the hard work each of us has done in your Name, for you, and for your people. Please receive the work we have done, please receive every prayer we have in our hearts, every smile we gave to one another, every word we said, every eMail we wrote, every seed that we have sown, and everything that we have done for you, please receive and accept with your Fatherly love, please bless them to bear fruits for you one hundred fold.

Dear God, we pray that you receive the hard work of the CM and Chinese school teachers and administrators of our community. They gave their hearts to the Youth. The Youth is our future. Please bless them with abundant joy, your everlasting joy that no one can take away. Please bless them and their families as they continue to lead and grow our future generation.

Dear Jesus, we pray that you bless our community leaders, Kai Min our chairman, our fearless leader for the last 4 years, our vice-chairpersons, our council, all servant-leaders of the Mandarin, Cantonese, and the English communities. Please bless Fr. Koo our Chaplin, Fr. Wang, Fr. Sio and all of the religious who have helped us over the years. Please bless all of their hard work. Please heal them and comfort them for all the hardship they have endured through your love. Please continue to call leaders, your servants to serve and lead this community, your church, your body to be a home, a warm and comfortable cradle for your people.

Dear Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that you bless our Youth. In your loving eyes, all of us are young and beautiful, please especially bless those who are young in age in our community. Through their hard work, dedication, and participation in the Watermark, Lighthouse, Cornerstone, and Tijuana missions and all the youth and young adult activities, you have blessed this community with a new generation which is missing from many other communities. Please continue to bless them, protect them, and keep them in your family. Please help them grow through their services, and use them as leaders and as a model for other communities to build your kingdom.

Dear Holy Spirit, we pray that you bless our 20/20 efforts, all of the contributors, and all of the participants from this entire community of your people. We have expressed so many dreams and wishes, and so much hope for our future. We know that each of these dreams is a prayer, and you will never overlook any of our prayers. Please increase our faith to long for what you have promised. Please give us a Spirit of wisdom and revelation to know You and enlighten our hearts to see your call. Please give us the courage to unite together and to do your will.

Dear loving Father, we pray that you bless all the people who help made this event possible, and all the participants. Please bless our food and drink to keep us healthy, as we share the food, please unite us together in your love.

We thank you and praise you, and may all glory be with you always.

We pray in the Names of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
