We all know we can do beneficial things, by our own power, for others. We've all done it and seen it done. But, if we want to see the best possible things occur for our city, then yes, we can invest in it, serve it, and love it well, and seek its welfare - but nothing will be as fruitful if we don't submit our city and our efforts to God. "Thursdays at Lunch" is a call for Fort Worthians to pray for, weep for, and beg God for the good of our city.
Block off Lunch each Thursday, and join folks across our great city as we pray for the renewal, welfare, and salvation of our great city. Spend your lunch break alone - just you and God. Or spend the whole lunch hour with a couple friends, co-workers, or classmates. This isn't formal; there's no "programming" element to it. Just simply pray! If you need a guide, spend time walking through "The Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6" - pause after each phrase and pray for Fort Worth, based on the words of that phrase.
