Pray that our Children and Youth would get excited about prayer. Pray that their humble trust in God would become a challenge to us to pray and to trust more.

Pray for our toddlers and infants. Pray for love and security in their lives. Pray for godly examples and for teaching that gives them a foundation in the things of God, whatever their home situation. Pray for the courage and the love to be a Godly influence in at least one young life.

Pray for our Children. Pray that the little ones remain humble examples of what we adults need to become in the kingdom. Pray that we would see them as God sees them. Pray that their conduct would show they remember their Creator God. Pray that they would grow to be increasingly excited about who God is.

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 youth. Pray for wisdom to deal with the multitude of problems youth face today. Pray for the ability to inspire trust in God and His Word. 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 inspired by God and passionate about their roles as teachers, and that they be good Christian examples for the children to look up to. Pray that they would feel an urgency to regularly uphold their students in prayer.

Pray for our Children’s Ministries, that God would inspire the leaders and that the children’s hearts would be drawn to follow Christ. Pray that the children would lead their unchurched parents and friends to know Christ.

Tonight there is a U18 Open House. Pray that community families would feel welcome to come and that it would be a gateway to getting them connected to the wider church family. You can show your support for the ministry too by coming out tonight at 6:30 to learn what the kids will be up to this year.

Pray for our office staff. They are front and centre when people come into the church with special needs, or when any of us are upset about something church related. Pray for a gentle spirit when people complain to them about issues they cannot control. Pray for a spirit of unity between them and our Pastors, Ministry Council, and other ministries of our church.

Pray for our Deacons. Ask God to bless them as they bless many among us. Pray for lives of integrity that display the love of Christ. Pray that their households would be places of peace and respect. Pray that they be Spirit-led in all they do.
