THURSDAY, 4TH APRIL, 2019-MORNING PRAYERS

1. Prayer for the Morning Heavenly Father, I do not fear this day, for you are with me wherever I might go, your light to shine ahead, your footsteps to lead the way.

4 Types of Preachers: Which Style Are You? December 3, 2014 By Fr. John A. Peck by Lawrence Wilson Saw this on the blog Lawrence W. Wilson – Suburban Pastor and thought it very worthy of republishing. Thanks to Pastor Wilson for giving me permission to share it with you. Preaching has been the central element in most Protestant worship services for over 500 years. It’s the main thing pastors do, in terms of time consumption.
