Third Quarter 2024 Prayer Requests

In his book, “A Call to Spiritual Reformation: Priorities from Paul and his Prayers,” D.A. Carson writes, “If we follow Paul’s example, we will never overlook the monumental importance of praying for others…We will see it is part of our job to approach God with thanksgiving for others and with intercession for others. In short, our praying will be shaped by our profound desire to seek what is best for the people of God.” 

May we, as a family of churches, continue to build relationally by having a "profound desire" to pray for each other as we “seek what is best” for our churches, and to advance our shared mission of the gospel together. By doing so, our relationships will be enhanced, our mission empowered, and our unity strengthened all for the glory of Christ.
