PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
This week we started a new series called "Like Glue" - which focuses on how to have healthy, thriving, biblically relationships. Each week we are focusing on a different trait of relationship; this week we talked about love. We’ve probably all heard someone say, “I love him, but I don’t like him right now.” In that attitude, we treat love as some sort of concept we are required to embrace—especially with relatives—but there are no concrete, day-to-day expressions of love. Yet the starting point for any strong relationship is love—love that is expressed in both attitudes and actions. Jesus modeled this kind of love for us, and calls us to do the same. Let love overflow into every relationship. Pray that our students will see the intentional ways they can love those around them - that they will be known as people who love, and love well. Pray that they will love selflessly and sacrificially.

For Our Ministry
Pray that student-leader relationships would grow as they do life together to mature in and for the glory of Christ.

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- Strength to talk to more people about God. Confidence that God will take care of me.
- That my mom gets a job
- That my autoimmune meds keep working so I can live life not tired all the time.
- I want to be closer to God and think I need help.

STUDENTS IN OUR MINISTRY:
Please take a moment to pray for these students individually. Pray over their week, family life, friendships, and character.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
This week we focused on John 15:12-13 "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." Pray that students would see that abiding in Christ is the secret to continual growth. Pray that in Him they will produce fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Pray that they will know and see that apart from Christ they can do nothing.

 For Our Ministry
Pray that our students wouldn’t just come to Church, but own it, using their gifts, talents and influence to serve the kingdom. Pray that students would be bringing others into a life changing relationship with God and each other.

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- Help things at home get better. Pray for my mom, she is doing rehab and wants to get sober. Best friend is moving. 

- Our financial problems to not get in the way of finding us a home. 
- That everyone will come to church with me one day
- I need help with depression and suicidal thoughts, controlling my rage, finding myself, feeling emotions better. I want to be closer to God and think I need help.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
This week we started a new series called "Beyond Me". The students were challenged to love - to love more than they have to give. Pray that they know that that is possible. That by remaining in Jesus, they will have everything they need to love abundantly. Pray that if any of them have things they need to give up to follow passionately after Jesus, that they would have the strength and courage to do so. Pray that they let Him determine their desires, and that they would love as He loves. Pray that John 15:5 is real to them, and that they really see that they can do nothing apart from Jesus. 

For Our Ministry

Pray that the Gospel is proclaimed boldly, clearly, and often. Pray that the good news of God’s grace would be received and trusted. Pray for revival to come to Fusion and Thrive.  

 PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- I pray that some friends of my family would find God's peace and love after losing a loved one.
- Graduation, moving out, going to college
- That I'll be safe and not have recurring nightmares
- My friend is attempted suicide multiple times. Pray that she will not want to cut and get help.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
We continued in our series about Heaven this week, talking about what the Bible says Heaven will be like. Pray that students we truly see the awesomeness and majesty of Heaven. That it wouldn't be somewhere they think is "boring", but that they see their true potential and gifts will be revealed for God's glory. Heaven will be a grand adventure full of jobs we enjoy, an eternity to go exploring, and all of it in the presence of God.

For Our Ministry

Pray that the light of the church and the heart of the family would continually come together to reach and raise the next generation in Christ Jesus.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
This week we took a break from our series to honor our graduating seniors at our annual Baccalaureate. It was a very sweet time of parents and leaders being able to speak love, encouragement, and blessing over those who are leaving our ministry in a matter of weeks. Continue to pray for each of them, that the things they have learned here at Thrive would stick with them as they go; that they all would get plugged into a church when off at college, and that God would continue to grow them into young men and women after God's own heart.

For Our Ministry
Pray that our students and leaders would experience the joy of Christ as they worship Him in word and deed. Pray that with thanksgiving in our hearts we would reflect Jesus in all we say and do.

GRADUATING SENIORS - CLASS OF 2015
Please take a moment to pray for these students who are graduating in the next couple of weeks. Pray over their week, family life, friendships, character and future.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
This week we started a new series about Heaven. Pray that as we delve into this subject for the next couple of week, students eyes will be open to God's majesty and the riches He has in store for us. Pray that as they ask questions, students who do not yet have a relationship with God will come to know Him as their personal Savior. Pray that as the Gospel is proclaimed, God will continually be drawing those students to Himself.

For Our Ministry
Pray that students and leaders would depend on prayer for their direction, life, and purpose, that apart from Him we can do nothing. Pray we would boldly come to the throne of grace to seek God to do more then we could possibly ask or imagine. Pray that we would trust God is good, hears us, and responds.

Pray also for the Thrive Guy's Retreat - they head off to SeaKrest today! Pray that they will have a great time of digging deeper into God's word and fellowshipping with each other.

 PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- Wisdom and strength from all kinds of temptation as I go to college.
- To feel more secure about myself as I grow with uncertainty about what the future holds.
-  Relationship with my mom, battle of child support, lack of friends.
- Pray for my best friend, she has cancer
- Break old habits

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
 We wrapped up our series on God's glory with a challenge; a call to action, that we would boldly worship Christ in all that we do. Pray that our students would see what that looks like. Pray that they know that they are able to point people to Christ with their lives, and that they would live out of that - that they were created to be worshippers.

We all get to be the soundtrack to the greatest story ever, the story of God’s glory. Our prayer is that our students  would be excited to be a megaphone to Jesus, bold and unashamed. That they would be seeking God’s tuning to be like Jesus.

For Our Ministry
Pray that the Gospel is proclaimed boldly, clearly, and often. Pray that the good news of God’s grace would be received and trusted. Pray for revival to come to Fusion and Thrive.  
 
PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- My friends so that they can come to church and learn more about God.
- My faith to grow and to be a witness to people who don't know Christ.
- I ask for help in the last few days of school left and for me to be able to conquer my depression through Jesus and learn to manage stress.
- Please pray for my family, my grandma just passed away and we’re going through a tough time. Also please pray for honesty in my life and that I will talk to my friends in a true and honest way
