Tuesday, September 20 brought a time of celebration, worship, reflection, and prayer as Stonecroft staff and volunteers gathered to dedicate Detox. The dedication recounted how God directed the development, highlighted volunteers instrumental in creating Detox, and looked ahead with anticipation to how God will use it to further His Kingdom.
Enjoy this video showcasing many of the women, teams, and events that were part of the development.
The high point of the day included prayers by the development team and this Prayer of Dedication offered by Jan Mathers, Stonecroft Board Member.
Father, we thank you for making us in your image and calling us to be ambassadors of reconciliation. Today, in unity, both staff and volunteers come together to declare your glory as we dedicate Detox for your purposes.
Receive now the work of our hearts and our hands. May each person that experiences Detox receive your love, grace, and peace as they come to know your Son, Jesus Christ.
Make every part of Detox a place of hope for those who feel hopeless, a place of friendship for those who feel lonely, and a place of strength for those who feel weak. Most importantly, Lord, bring restored life through the transforming Gospel message of your Son.
We are trusting you, God, to do wonders above our wildest expectations and dreams of bringing women to you through Detox.
Today, Lord, we give this offering of Detox to you for your praise and your glory.
In your Son’s name, Amen.
Thank you for pausing, raising your open hands, and offering Detox to the Lord with us!
