There is a booklet of prayer requests specific to the needs of HMC available in the foyer, or by speaking with Karen Schmalz or Brian Austin. Alternatively, if you’d like to receive daily prayer reminders delivered to your email, you can sign up at eepurl.com/cM9ZVj
Pray for our Children & Youth, that the little ones remain humble examples of what we need to become in the kingdom. Let their conduct always be pure and right with reputations that show that they remember their Creator God. Teach them to declare God’s marvelous deeds. Pray that they flee evil desires and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace.
Pray for our youth and young adults in college and university. Pray that the things they have learned would come to mind when the many voices of the world would pull them away from their trust in God. Pray that they would remain true. Pray that if they begin to drift, God’s Spirit would draw them back.
Pray for our LIT (Leaders in Training) group of senior youth, and their leaders. Pray for a solid grounding and a deep personal faith as they approach college and university days and consider lifetime choices. Pray that they would be excited about their faith and that their excitement would be contagious.
Pray for our Youth Ministries, that the leaders and volunteers have a genuine love and concern for the kids. Give them wisdom to deal with the multitude of problems kids face today. Pray for an increase in Godly volunteers and mentors who would be good examples to follow. Pray that the youth would learn to put God first in their lives.
Pray for our Sunday School teachers, that they be God-inspired and passionate about their roles as teachers and that they be good Christian examples for the church to look up to.
