ABUNDANT HEALTH

The Secret Sauce
You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor. James 3:18 (The Message)
   
If you want to sustain a healthy lifestyle for the long-term, and if you want to have fun doing it as well, you need friends. Community, when you embrace it, doesn’t just help you succeed in your goals. It can bring you joy.
—The Daniel Plan Team
   

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

God of All Peoples, we bring our gifts to your altar this day, knowing that your love extends not just to those inside these walls, but equally to the communities and cities we serve. As you reminded your people in their exile when you instructed them to “pray for the welfare of the city of their exile,” we understand that you send us into the world to work for the welfare of those who don’t yet know your love, compassion, and gracious forgiveness. Amen. (Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7)
