A district prayer calendar has been created for your use in praying for our district and related programs through the year. We invite you to include the following in your prayers in the coming weeks:

Week of Jan. 23: Pray for the new Brethren group taking shape in Madison, Wisconsin, as they work on their vision for that gathering and find new ways to be together.
Week of Jan. 30: Pray for the Allison Prairie congregation, and for the important work that happens at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md.
Week of Feb. 6: Give thanks to God for Brethren Volunteer Service as it celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. If possible, also say thank you to someone who has served through BVS.
Week of Feb. 13: Be in prayer for the Leadership Team of our district, including chair Carol Kussart (Cerro Gordo) and vice chair Jonathan Shively (Highland Avenue), as it makes decisions in the year ahead.
