We Offer Our Prayers Together
Congregational Prayer by St. Therèse of Lisieux and St. Theresa of Avila, Liturgist
All: May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be confident knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Today we pray for…. Rev. Shana Dry
After each prayer request read:
Pastor: Lord in your mercy, All: Hear our Prayer
The Pastor will lift any prayers that have been made known to the office. You can submit a prayer request by going to http://www.tahlequahumc.org/prayerrequest After each request the pastor will respond with Lord, Hear this prayer.

Want to learn more about how to use technology? I would love to offer my limited knowledge on helping you navigate new technologies you may have been given over Christmas. Or if you want to learn how to zoom, get emails on your phone or navigate social media. I would love to help. I would prefer a 1 on 1 approach to this because it is easier to help you better understand. Just let me know if this is something you would be interested in.
Wednesday Night Reconnect is postponed Until Feb. 23rd

Job Descriptions for Mentors, Table Host, Meal Providers
Mentors: Mentors will make some kind of connection with their mentee at least once, during the week. Pastor Matt will work with you on how this can be done at the training session on Jan. 30th at 5:30 p.m. You will check in with your mentee, ask them how are things, and do they have any questions about what they are learning in our sessions. At the end of our time of confirmation, you will share some incites to what you have learned about them and where they saw growth in our time during confirmation. Attending the sessions for the mentors is not required or expected but encouraged.
Table Host: Will be the small group leader of an assigned table. After the presentation, you will help your table of 4-8 confirmands dive a little deeper in the lesson. You will be provided questions and activities each week and all things needed to lead the table will be provided.
Meal Providers: We will begin the session with a simple meal at 5 p.m. At this time we do not know how many to prepare for but will know more after our meeting on Jan. 30th If you cannot make the meal but would be willing to provide funds for the meal just let me know as well.
