Scripture Memory
Pray for the Church
Praise God the Father for sending His Son, Jesus, to earth. Pray we will all readily remember the birth of the Christ Child we celebrate at Christmas. Rejoice in His salvation. Pray for all those who have not put their faith in Him to listen to the gospel and do so. Praise God for the eternal reign of Jesus Christ our King.
Pray for the City
This week we are praying for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), a Christian ministry that has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high, and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impactvthe world for Jesus Christ. FCA focuses on serving local communities by equipping, empowering, and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ. We are also praying for Chelsea Village Baptist Church and Pastor Scott Slayton.
