COMMUNION SERVICE

When we humbly ask forgiveness for anything we have committed against our family, it releases the grace of God upon us, but also releases our children from the poisonous toxins of bitterness. (Hebrews 12:15-17)

 “Have I done anything recently that has offended you, wounded you, or hurt you?” Many times we may be oblivious to our sins of omission which our families pick up on very quickly. When we ask this question, we are really doing reconnaissance work to discover what the enemy is up to in the heart of our home. This is not a time to blame, complain, or explain. This is a time to understand and clarify what is going on with our children so we can become a vessel of God to once again open their hearts to receiving God’s grace and power. 

O God,

bless our family 

and all its members and friends;

bind us together by your love.

Give us kindness and patience

to support each other;

and wisdom in all we do.

Let the gift of your peace

come into our hearts

and remain with us.

May we rejoice in your blessings

for all our days.

Amen.
