LWML Prayer Service

LOOK TO THE HILLS

“Look to the Hills” is the theme of the 2009 LWML Prayer Service. Based on the 2009 Portland LWML Convention theme verses from Psalm 121, this service provides an opportunity for participants to gather together in prayer and praise.

The Reverend Larry Miller, LWML Counselor 2003-2007 and Pastor of First Lutheran Church, Helena, Montana, authored this service to provide our readership the opportunity to be assured that, in all times and all seasons, our gracious God invites us to look to Him for the help we need. Through Word and song and prayer, participants will look to the hills, look to Him and consider the times and seasons of life.

Instructions are included within the body of the prayer service.
The service begins with four vignettes (brief incidents or scenes) that present various situations in life that an individual may experience.

An optional offering may be gathered.

2009 Convention Theme Verses and Goal Statement

Psalm 121:1-2 I lift my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Confident that my God reigns as Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier, I share His love and peace with others.
