EQUIPPING YOU FOR DISCIPLESHIP 

INFO SESSION

HOW DO I PRAY FOR OUR MISSIONARIES?

While the Missions Ministry Team has been highlighting Missionaries of the Month throughout this year, for the month of September, we will be sharing tips on ways to pray for missionaries. Here are a few suggestions:

• Dependence on God: Pray for missionaries to model a life of dependence on God.
• Wisdom: Pray for missionaries to have a spirit of humility, and to willingly ask God for wisdom in carrying out their assignment.
• Persistence: Pray for endurance, stamina, and pacing for missionaries to insure long-term, fruitful ministry. 
• Rest: Ask God to help missionaries recognize their need for weekly rest away from ministry responsibilities.

Do you know our missionaries? If you’d like to get to know some of our missionaries and pray for their specific needs as well as rejoice in how God is using them, contact the Missions Ministry Team through Pastor Lynda.

COMMUNITY DAY AT BETHANY AME

Our congregation was specially invited to join Bethany AME Church (just up the road on 21st St) for their Community Day this Sunday, September 11 from 2pm to 6pm. Come meet neighbors and new friends!
