Prayer Requests
We are called to be a people of prayer.
As the Presbyterian Church's contemporary statement of faith expresses it - "Worship draws us into the work of Christ. Even now he intercedes for the world to which he came and for which he died. In union with him, the church prays for the healing and the salvation of the world." (Living Faith, 7.3.3)
We accompany what follows with some cautions.
Since websites are public places and prayer requests often involve private or personal concerns, we are choosing not to identify by name most of the individuals for whom prayer may be requested. We also add the caution that prayer requests are not to be a starting point for either gossip or speculation. Our purpose for listing concerns here is a spiritual one and so we ask you to treat these requests with both compassion and sensitivity.
Pray for the Rev. Dr. Tom Billard, the Moderator of the Presbytery of Hamilton, who assumed his duties on September 13, 2011.
We invite your prayers for the Rev. Amin Mansour and the new Arabic language mission - Almanarah - which began in September 2011 and is now offering a weekly worship service in Arabic. Pray that this work, which is based at the Church of St. John and St. Andrew in Hamilton, will be a blessing to many in the coming months and years.
September 2011. We invite your prayers on behalf of those congregations in our Presbytery that have accepted the challenge to explore fresh ways to approach the challenges of ministry within their community. May they find encouragement in the faithfulness of God's response to the prayers of his people.
