DEVOTIONAL SAMPLE
Twinkie and a Rootbeer with God
Jimmy Martin was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer, opened the front door, and started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase.
He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer.
Once again, she smiled at him. Jimmy Martin was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, Jimmy Martin realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps; he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.
When he opened the door to his own house a short time later; his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him: "What did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied: "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added: "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked:
"Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
She replied: "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But before her son responded, she added:
"You know, He's much younger than I expected."
Loneliness affects most of us at some time in our lives. At these times in our life God makes his presence know to us in mysterious ways, in which we can say, "Only God." Because only can no when we needed someone to look us in the eye and smile, when we are feeling invisible and insignificant.
2 Timothy 4:16-18 - - At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”

COMMUNION
PREPARING FOR COMMUNION: (Share a verse on communion. Some popular verses are shared on the COMMUNION page.)
As we take the bread, we pray for a deeper understanding of what it means that Jesus’ body was broken for us.
As we drink the cup, we thank Him for the blood He shed to cleanse us from sin and give us eternal life
SAMPLE COMMUNION PRAYER
Lord,
We take the time to remember your great sacrifice for our sins. We remember your broken body and shed blood, not for anything you did wrong, but because you were paying the penalty for our sins. Before we take this bread and drink this cup, we repent of any sins we have committed before you. We also don’t take this moment lightly, but recognize how precious and holy this moment is. We want to take a moment to thank you for your sacrifice and to thank you for the result of your sacrifice. We not only remember it, but we rejoice over it. Thank you that because of what you did for us. FORGIVENESS is not earned, but given as a gift. You have forgiven my sins as soon as I asked for your forgiveness. You gave us access to eternal life when we turned our eyes to you. Thank you for loving us enough to pay this great price for our redemption.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Sample Final Prayer:
Almighty God, we thank you for the body and blood of your Son Jesus Christ given as a sacrifice, a gift of forgiveness that none deserve. Send us your Holy Spirit to live and work within us. Let us share the love of Christ with others, as a beacon demonstrating the love he has given all mankind. Be with us in the days ahead. Bring others beside us to walk out our faith with us.
We are THANKFUL for the reminders you surround us with...reminders of your love and your presence.
In Jesus name, Amen.
