Albright Church
The inside story of becoming a disciple of Jesus is that we have to give up everything to follow Jesus. We cannot carry our cross and our preferences at the same time.
Worship in Prayer
Let’s join together as the church to declare our gratitude and lift our requests to God as we surrender together to His will for us. Praying together is not limited to our gatherings on Sundays, we can pray together daily as the church! As you pray through these 6 areas, use this prayer guide to help your daily prayer focus all week long
Give thanks and pray:
- for your family
- for your church family, friends, and neighbours
- for our pastors, staff and church leaders
- for healthcare and front line workers
- for Our City and government
- for our EMCC denomination and our Mission Partners

Luke 14:25-35 NIV
Read Luke 14:25-35
Have you ever bought something where the final cost was higher than you originally thought it would be? What was it, and how did the difference in cost make you feel?
If you reflect on your schedule, your purchases, and your choices over the past 6 months, what would you say is your top priority? What brings you to that conclusion?
In the parable of the person building a tower, Jesus tells us to seriously consider the cost of following Him. If you are a follower of Jesus, what has following Him cost you recently? If you are not yet a follower of Jesus, what do you understand the cost of following Him to be?
The parable of the King choosing to go to war or not demonstrates the total commitment necessary to follow Jesus. Which areas of your life are easier to surrender, and which are harder? What area might Jesus be asking you to surrender next?
What does it looks like when followers of Jesus take up His invitation to ‘carry their cross and follow me”? What will it look like for you next week?
We are praying that your in home services will be a fruitful time of experiencing God's presence and enjoying time with Him whether you are on your own or with others, we remain united by the Holy Spirit alive in us! As you gather, feel free to post a picture to our church facebook page! Let’s share the joy of our times meeting with God, whatever they look like!
