As we approach our Church Day, centered on the theme "Unity in Diversity," let us devote the coming week to praying for our church:- For our church family: that each of us would recognize our unity in Christ—that we belong to one another, are united by the same Spirit, and are one Body in Christ. Pray that this understanding would be reflected in our love, care, compassion, and mutual encouragement.
- For unity in diversity: that every member of the church would recognize that we are all different, with unique strengths, weaknesses, spiritual gifts, and needs. Pray that we would bear with one another in love, graciously forgive one another, learn from one another, and glorify the Lord in all we do.
- For those being baptized: thank God for His work in their lives and for calling them into His family. Pray that He would strengthen them in their walk with Christ and grant them abundant spiritual growth.
- For our new church members: that they would quickly feel at home and become actively involved in the life of the church, and that we, as a church family, would faithfully support and encourage them along the way.
