"Beautiful Feet" is the theme of the 2010 LWML Prayer Service authored by Reverend Philip Esala.  The theme is based on one of the 2009 Portland LWML Convention verses — How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Isaiah 52:7

The 2010 LWML Prayer Service is available as a free download from the LWML Website at www.lwml.org

The Prayer Service was created to reinforce the objectives from the LWML 2009 Portland Convention:

• Worship God the Maker of all things,
• Trust in the Lord who daily meets your needs,
• Declare God’s peace and provision through tangible acts of mercy and grace, and
• Share the Good News of Jesus in everyday situations.

 Divided into four parts, the Prayer Service includes readings, prayer time, recommended songs, and suggestions for advanced preparations that will enhance the worship of those attending the service.

The Reverend Philip Esala authored this service to provide encouragement to spend time in prayer, look for opportunities to share the good news of Jesus with people in local communities in everyday situations, and to proclaim the peace only Christ provides as He brings us salvation through Him.

Reverend Esala serves as Senior Pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Kettering, Ohio. He attended Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, while working as attorney for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Foundation and as Assistant States Attorney in Illinois. Pastor Phil and his wife Deb are blessed to be the parents of four children.
