IN OUR PRAYERS

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 coming weeks:

Week of Sept. 13: Pray this week for current and former members of our district now living in other places, and for the Church of the Brethren in Haiti (Eglise des Freres) as it carries on despite the violence and unrest in that nation and immigration concerns at home. 

Week of Sept. 20: Pray for the Mount Morris congregation this week, for those who work at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md., and for the ministry of Church World Service.

Week of Sept. 27: Pray for the Canton congregation, and for the work and ministry of Brethren Press and all those who write curriculum, books, and other materials. Pray for Brethren Press staff members Wendy McFadden, Cheryl Brumbaugh-Cayford, Sarah Radcliff (all Highland Avenue) and Heidi Gross (Chicago First).

Week of Oct. 4: Pray for the Allison Prairie congregation near Lawrenceville, and for all the assistance being provided through the Church of the Brethren Global Food Initiative.

Week of Oct. 11: Pray for the Church of the Brethren Mission & Ministry Board as it meets this week, for general secretary David Steele, and for all the members of our district who work in denominational staff positions.
