This week’s prayer requests

-With Sign Up Sunday drawing near, be in prayer for our Alive family. Pray that our eyes are opened to the unique talents and gifts God has woven into each of us for His specific purpose. We are better together, and we need one another. Pray that the Spirit moves powerfully in our church, prompting every single person to step into a "yes" when it comes to serving, fellowship, and discipleship.

-Continue to pray for the Leadership Transition Team as they wrap up listening sessions. Pray for a God-given, clear path forward. Pray for Spirit-given wisdom and discernment for each member of the team.

-Pray for those who are walking alongside loved ones with medical concerns, or who have medical concerns themselves. Pray that in the midst of fear and uncertainty they will feel an overwhelming sense of God’s love and comfort, and that they will be surrounded and uplifted by their friends, families, and communities.

-As our Alive Student Ministries kicks off a new year, pray for our students and leaders. Pray that God will provide our leaders with wisdom, stamina and joy in the year to come. Pray that each student will feel welcomed and that they will develop deep friendships, a passion for God’s Word, and the courage to live out their faith.

-Pray for our world and our nation: for the light and truth of Christ to shine in the darkness, for forgiveness and reconciliation, for healing, for peace.
