MISSIONAL MARKER
The congregation of Hope in Christ Church has made the Spirit-filled decision to move forward and become a healthy missional church.
This week’s Missional Marker is: Global perspective and engagement (Acts 1:8)
- We raise the sights of our members beyond our congregation and community by developing a Biblical worldview and often pray for and reference global matters.
- We have identifiable pathways to support the cause of Christ globally.
- Our people are equipped and growing in their ability to participate in the global dimensions of our ministry.
PRAYERS
Each week we pray for members of our church family. Suggested prayers are for their spiritual growth, opportunities to see Christ in their everyday lives, and anything else that God puts on your mind for them. This week please pray for:
- Herm & Ali
- Carmen
- Joe P
- Bridger
- Debra
- Joshua & Esther
From CRC (Our Journey 2020) Discipleship: Pray that our congregations will speak mercy and offer hospitality to all, that together we may create a welcoming home where people of all ages, ethnicities, genders, and abilities will learn to love and help each other grow into the likeness of Christ.
From CRC (Disability Concerns) Friendship: Disability Concerns works closely with Friendship Ministries; whose mission is to help people with and without disabilities grow in faith together. Pray for God’s blessing on Friendship groups and all who are using Together Bible studies so that all God’s people can grow in faith together.
