Pray that “Missions” would be more than just a part of our name. Ask God to give us a passion for those who do not know of the love of Jesus. Pray for a passion that sees the lost among our neighbours and the lost across the globe as people we are called to reach out to.
Daily Prayer Request – Thursday, May 3, 2018
Pray for those who have left our congregation because of wounds and disappointments. Pray for their healing. Pray that they would find a place of worship where their talents and gifts can be used, and where their spiritual needs will be met.

A solid foundation makes a strong house.

A. So who is the Holy Spirit?

He lives inside of us. John 14:17, 1 Cor 3:16
Christians cannot lose the Holy Spirit. John 14:16, Eph 1:13-14
The Holy Spirt shows us right and wrong. Jn 16:7-11, Rom 8:4-6

Pray to increase our desire to seek God and come together as a church body. Pray for a renewed hunger to study the Bible and seek Him in prayer.

Daily Prayer Request – Friday, April 27, 2018
Pray for a growing love for God. Pray for a deeper sense of His holiness. Pray for a boldness to come into His presence, but at the same time an awe for His majesty; a recognition of His glory.
Daily Prayer Request – Thursday, April 26, 2018
Pray for the courage to let God use us as part of His answer. Obedience to the nudging of the Spirit is sometimes costly. God has proved Himself trustworthy, but still expects us to step out. Pray for the courage to obey even when we are terrified.
Daily Prayer Request – Wednesday, April 25, 2018
Thank God for the privilege of prayer. Take a few moments to reflect on the implications. The Creator of the Universe knows you by name. He is slow to anger and abounding in mercy. He loves you with an everlasting love. He invites you to come into His presence.
