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 any individual for whom prayer is being 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.
We invite your prayers on behalf of congregations that are going through seasons of discord, difficulty or turmoil. It is always a cause for lament when the church, which is the family of God, and where we are to be one body in Christ, fails to reflect the glory and peace of Christ.
Pray for the people of Haiti. Pray for the families of the estimated 50,000 victims of the earthquake. Pray for the estimated one million people who have been left homeless. Pray for those who are endeavouring to render assistance in the crises.
The Rev. Bob Docherty of St. John's Church, Grimsby, is retiring as of March 1st. Please pray for him and his wife Muriel as he begins his retirement.
