We have officially begun our Rise, Together journey! Over the weeks ahead, we’ll reflect on what it means to deepen community, neighbor well, and steward the legacy God has entrusted to us.
As part of this season, we invite you to join a daily rhythm of prayer. Simple prompts to help us pause, seek God’s presence, and lift our community in faith together.
Text “RISE” to 407-634-1703 to receive a text of these prayers each morning.

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” Romans 10:17
Father, grow generosity in our hearts today. Teach us to give joyfully—not out of guilt, but from gratitude. Free us from the lie of scarcity. Let our shared resources be multiplied for eternal impact. Use every act of generosity to transform hearts, families, and communities. We give because You gave first. Amen.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer… And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42-47
God, break every chain of materialism and self-reliance that holds us back. Teach us the joy of sacrificial giving. May our open hands reflect our open hearts. Let us release what cannot last in order to embrace what lasts forever. Use our sacrifice as a seed for revival. Amen.

“For just as each of us has one body with many members… so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Romans 12:4-5
Lord, we give not to impress others but to honor You. Make our giving an act of worship—an expression of love, not obligation. Help us trust You with our first and best, believing You are our ultimate provider. May our church reflect the generous heart of its Savior. Amen.
