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.

Scripture: Romans 15:1-2
“We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak… Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.”

Scripture: James 1:27
“Religion that God our Father accepts… is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

Scripture: Isaiah 1:17
“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”

Scripture: Proverbs 3:27-28
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due… Do not say to your neighbor, ‘Come back tomorrow’—when you already have it with you.”
Father, use our church to bless the city we call home. Let us be known not just by what we believe, but by how we love, serve, and invest in others. May revival begin in us and flow outward. Help us rise together with purpose. Amen.
Friday, Nov. 14
Scripture: Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
God, You are the God of generations. Help us invest in a future we may never see. Give us a vision that outlives us. Let our giving, praying, and serving lay a foundation for those who come after us. We plant today so others can harvest tomorrow. Amen.
