Each month, our Prayer Ministry Team offers a specific prayer focus, working under the belief that communal prayer is a powerful and world-changing exercise.

March Prayer Focus
Our Prayer Focus for March is Praying for New Beginnings/New Life.  Whether you are praying for guidance, forgiveness, or another opportunity to reset your life and make better choices, God is listening & hears your prayers!  As we pray for new beginnings in our lives we are reminded of the love, grace & forgiveness our God has bestowed upon us.  His mercies are new every day! God is so gracious to us; He gives us the opportunity to have a new beginning each & every day!

Please join us in praying for the following:

• For God to remove old habits & give us new ones:  2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.  The old has gone, the new is here!
• To remember our baptism & the new life it gave us: Romans 6:4:  We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
• For new hope:  1 Peter 1:3:  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
• For renewal:  Titus 3:5:  He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.  He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.  
• For a new self:  Ephesians 4:22-24:  You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
• For a new heart & spirit: Ezekiel 36:26:  I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.  
• To forget our past:  Isaiah 43:18-19:  Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.  See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Prayer is the heart cry of a Christian. It is a privilege to speak to God our Father through prayer. Let us be a people of prayer committed to seeking God daily on our knees.  If you need someone to pray with you, please contact the church office so we may reach out to you.
