Let's pray for Synod this week:
Read and Meditate on 1 Peter 2: 1-11. We thank God for His call upon our lives and declare the praises of God who called us out of darkness into His light. (vs 9)
We admit that there is still much that needs God’s transforming power in our personal and life together as His church. (vs 1 We lay before God our sin and deeply desire to live the Christ-like life as God’s chosen people. Lord, change our hearts.
We trust You, Lord, to do what only You can do! Cleanse and fill us with your love.
Prayer Focus for Week 1:
We pray that all the detailed planning that has been done for the Presbyters’ Convocation, Synod sessions, services of worship, meals, travel, parking and accommodation will all fall into place. We pray for our Ecumenical guests, our Bible Study Leader, and the appointments of all synod committees and Convenors that those tasked with responsibilities, would work to the best of their ability. We pray for proper preparation of the delegates who have done the necessary electronic reading of Synod reports. We pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance in all that we may do.
1) We pray for the ex*****on of plans made for every aspect of Synod, that those tasked with responsibilities will work well together and serve with joy! We pray that there will be no power interruptions.

God’s will be done.
