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: Mark 12:30-31
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart… Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”
Jesus, help us see beyond ourselves today. Open our eyes to the people You’ve placed around us. Give us a heart for our neighbors—the ones we know and the ones we’ve overlooked. Let our presence be a blessing and our love be a testimony of Your goodness. Amen.

Scripture: Luke 10:27
“‘Love the Lord your God… and your neighbor as yourself.’”

Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
God, show us how to serve our neighbors in tangible ways. Whether it’s a kind word, a shared meal, or an act of help—let every action point to Your love. May we be known not just for our beliefs, but for our love in action. Amen.

Micah 6:8
“He has shown you… what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Jesus, give us eyes to see people the way You do. Remind us that every person we meet is someone You died for. Remove the walls of indifference or judgment, and fill us with radical compassion. Let us be light in dark places, hope in hard spaces. Amen.
