PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
 

+ Please continue to pray for our Church Planter in Residence search, as we seek to hire the person the Lord is calling to plant the next church out of our church in a few years. 

+ Please also pray for those in our city, state and national government: "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  This is good, and pleases God our savior who wants all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2: 1-4

+ Pray for any new or younger believers among us, that they would gladly welcome the call to deny themselves daily, take up their cross and follow Jesus. (Luke 9:23)
