Let’s Pray For Moderator
During September a short conference for ministers contemplating retirement will be held. Pray for ministers who are reaching this time of transition, and for the those who are commencing training for the ministry at Union College. Regrouping and regathering for worship Thank God for the way in which congregations have been able to regroup and regather for worship despite ongoing challenges. Pray for continued momentum as the summer draws to a close. Volker and Jinhyeog Glissmann (global mission workers in Malawi) Give thanks for the overwhelming response in a local church where 36 members signed up to take the "Knowing God" course. This is the highest number from one congregation ever to join the training. Leaders-in Training Pray for students from overseas partner churches whose studies are supported by PCI, that as many courses resume for the autumn season there will be little disruption from Covid-19 restrictions. |
