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.

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

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 and Ministry Council.

Pray for our custodian. We have a big building with many activities happening on a regular basis. Much of what she does is invisible—until the day it is not done. Pray for her. Thank her. Encourage her. Lend a hand once in a while.

Pray for our Deacons, that they walk worthy of respect with sincere hearts. Keep them from indulgence and greed. Help them keep hold of truth. Bless their households with peace and respect. Fill them with God’s Spirit and let them operate in wisdom as they carry out their responsibilities.

Pray for respect and love. Even when we have unanswered questions.

Pray for Ministry Council. As leaders of the church, pray for them without ceasing, asking that they may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so they are equipped to make Godly decisions for HMC. Pray that they be above reproach, kept from temptation, complacency, idols, and worldliness.
