This week’s prayer requests

“Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him—his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.”  -Psalm 68:4-5

-Give thanks to the Lord for our pastors and all they do! Praise God for leaders who love the Lord, share the gospel message boldly, and live out the Word of God. Pray that the armor of God covers and protects them from all strategies of the enemy; and pray that they stand firm on the foundation of Christ Jesus, walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, and experience God’s richest blessings.

-Pray for Alive's leadership: Ask that our council, board, and staff be deeply equipped and guided by the Holy Spirit, leaning fully into God's wisdom rather than their own. Pray also that God unites their minds and directs every decision toward the path He has already ordained for our church.

-As Kids Alive is back in full swing, be in prayer for our church’s children and the incredible leaders pouring into their lives - loving, teaching, and guiding them to know the life-changing love of Jesus. May God ignite a passion in all our hearts to pray for Kids Alive, our kids, and the team leading them! 

-Pray over the upcoming new member classes and all who are considering or planning to attend. Give thanks for the spark of desire God has placed in their hearts to connect with our Alive family. As they learn about our community, pray they will know the warmth of God’s presence and feel truly seen, valued, and at home.

-Lift up Alive’s upcoming Fall Serve Weekend and all its volunteers. Pray that God would grant each and every one of them the courage to step past their comfort zones, bringing God’s light and life through their words and actions. Pray also for Summer Serve preparations.
