Over the next 100 days, I want to encourage us to become even more intentional about praying for Union every day. 100 days from today is July 1, 2022. As we settle into new rhythms of our life and ministry together between now and then, I think that intentional and specific prayer for Union is vital. I want to encourage us to be specific with our prayers for Union. Yes, we are praying for the church as a whole, but I also want us to pray specifically about every aspect of our life and ministry together. Over the next 100 days, will you join me in praying for Union intentionally and specifically? Here are some things you can pray about over the next 100 days:
Pray that God’s love will be evident in this place.
Pray for the leadership in the church. Pray for the staff who serve here.
Pray for the ministries, worship services, and programs of the church.
Pray for the financial needs of the church.
Pray for God’s guidance, vision, and leadership as we move into the future together.
Pray for specific people in the church.
Pray for unity in the church.
Pray that God will help us to share His love in the community boldly.
Pray that a fresh wind of the Spirit would blow through this place bringing revival and a renewed passion for ministry, outreach, and missions.
Pray that God would show us the new things He would like to do in us and through us together in the days ahead.
Pray that people without a church family would find a home here.
Pray, pray, pray, and pray again for Union over the next 100 days. It’s vital.
