Training in MinistryThe Conciliation Panel is busy with more cases than usual. Pray for the people involved in these, and the conciliators, that there will be positive resolutions. Pray too for the training workshops the Panel offers, mostly to kirk sessions and committees - that these would bring renewed unity in the service of the Lord Jesus.
