IN OUR PRAYERS

A district prayer calendar has been created for your use in praying for our district and related programs through the years. We invite you to include the following in your prayers in coming weeks:
Week of May 16: Pray for the Franklin Grove congregation this week, and for their ministry in and around their community and Lee County.
Week of May 23: Pray for the Rockford Community congregation this week, and for their ministry in and around the city of Rockford. Pray also for the Church of the Brethren National Young Adult Conference taking place in North Carolina this week, and for all the young adults of our denomination to find their call and to make their voices heard.
Week of May 30: Pray for the Cerro Gordo congregation this week, and for their ministry in and around Piatt County and the greater Decatur area.
Week of June 6: Pray for the Martin Creek congregation this week, and for their ministry in and around Geff, Fairfield, and beyond.
Week of June 13: Pray for the ministry of Camp Emmanuel in Astoria, that the children and youth who come there this summer will find welcome, belonging, and nurturing of their faith. Pray also for the staff and volunteers who enable the program to happen, including managers Don and Kelly Davis.

Do you have congregational news: celebrations, milestones, “Jesus in the Neighborhood” stories or other things to share with our district family? Please send those to the district office: andreag.iwdcob@gmail.com.
