Relationship
- We see teamwork, networking and mutual accountability as vital, recognising that individuals and churches need each other.
Are there situations you’re facing, or questions in your mind that could be helped by sharing them with the team today? What’s the core issue that you’re concerned about? How are you feeling about it? How will you phrase it?
Are there things other team members are facing that you want to hold before God today? Is there something you can do to encourage them or help them? How can working together and mutual accountability be made real today?
Thank you God
for bringing us together,
working as a team,
held by a vision,
committed to a way
of living and working
in which Jesus is known.
We readily confess our need
of support and encouragement,
of honest listening and talking,
of friendship and laughter,
of each other.
Bless each of our relationships,
and help them to reflect
the depth of relating
known in the holy Trinity -
mutual,
flowing,
life-giving,
abundant,
free.
God, we’re human enough to know
that sometimes relationships become strained.
Wherever this is true for us,
may your reconciling Spirit
work among us,
repairing and deepening
our mutual understanding,
respect and love.
God thank you for this team!
