Prayer time

As we continue our study of Romans through June (under Sarah's wonderful facilitation), remember to pray for the person who sat next to you, this week on the right. If you weren't able to attend on Wednesday, pick someone to pray for. We are praying for the salvation of the person on our right. This is the list of Salvations:

Salvation (sōtéria)
Salvation from physical illness Matthew 9:21; Luke 8:36
Salvation from danger Mathew 8:25; 14:30
Salvation from life's infection Acts 2:40
Salvation from lostness Matthew 18:11; Luke 19:10
Salvation from sin Matthew 1:21
Salvation from the wrath of God Romans 5:9
A Salvation which is eschatological Romans 13:11; 1 Corinthians 5:5; 2 Timothy 4:18; 1 Peter 1:5

Note: this month we are singing I Can Only Imagine. Here is a video of the song by Mercy Me, if you are interested in hearing the music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S70gwFcSK9k.
