To me, Emerald Hills and worship are so synonomous. Especially on Sunday mornings when I am looking forward to worhipping with a local body of believers and I begin to pray for Emerald Hills, my mind always turns to what a beautiful, worshipful place God has created Emerald Hills to be. I imagine even the trees clapping their hands. So, Father, please, may Emerald Hills always be a sanctuary for worshipping You, especially for those who come to pray, retreat, and learn. May no person, place, or thing ever desecrate it.
