Thank you, Greenhouse Builders, for your prayer, promotion and provision for the mission of Greenhouse Christian Co-School. This month we invite you to pray through Luke 1:46-50.

As you pray, consider Mary, who at the time was presumably the age of some of our Greenhouse students. Consider what she teaches us about how to respond to the unexpected coming of Christ. What did it mean to be a follower of God at this point of the Incarnation? How do we react when God breaks into our lives in surprising ways?

Let’s pray each couple of lines as Greenhouse Builders, praising God for what He is doing with the children at Greenhouse. How is it that we are blessed through carrying on the legacy of the humble “yes” of Mary? We can praise God for the privilege of being a small humble part of building a co-school that honors the name and mission of Jesus. As you listen and reflect, ask God how you can continue to build into His Kingdom and into the Greenhouse community as Christmas approaches. Consider what your “Yes” might be this season.

Luke 1:46-50

And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord, (How can your soul magnify the Lord?)

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

(Pause and reflect in silence…)

for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant.

(What does it mean to be a “lowly servant”)

Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;

(Pause and reflect in silence….)

for the Mighty One has done great things for me, (for us, for Greenhouse)

and holy is his name.

(Pause and reflect in silence….)

His mercy is for those who fear him

from generation to generation.

(Ponder the generations of children that will be influenced by Greenhouse, as you pause, reflect and praise the Lord.)
