Prayer Items June 6th, 2021
For our Church Community
- We gave thanks as we celebrated our 40th Anniversary in the past Sunday. We thank those who participated in the 40th Anniversary and for the brothers and sisters for all the work and their tireless effort to put together the presentation and the brand-new website. May we move forward with new initiatives, spirit, and unity that will make us true witnesses for Jesus Christ as we seek to be a disciple making church. May we be mindful of God’s blessings and be alert and sensitive to where He is leading us.
- We are excited to see so many brothers and sisters attended the Town Hall meeting and the Q&A session. Let’s pray for the upcoming 2021 AGM on June 13th for unity in spirit towards an aligned vision and purpose. Pray that God will guide Logos to move forward and let us be excited for the future.
- Pray for the foyer renovation and AV upgrade projects that people get behind this project and to hear from as many stakeholders as possible as we strive to refresh the Church to prepare for the future to glorify God. We also pray for the deacon board structure/ function review committee too.
- Pray for the upcoming baptism and those considering baptism. We ask God to strengthen their faith so that they can take this important step of faith and live a spiritually healthy life with God’s guidance.
For God’s Kingdom

- May God continue to motivate us to support and live on missions both near and far. We also pray for our summer outreach initiatives (Koinonia Camp and the Seniors Program) as a continual way to bless our community.
- As we continue to navigate through COVID–19, let’s pray for love and peace at this time as we show the love of Christ to those who are around us by praying:
a. For those who have been impacted by COVID-19: frontline essential workers, medical staff, those who still need to go to work daily or work from home, small businesses suffering from lost income, families struggling with finances, senior living in long-term care homes, students and teachers who are adjusting to remote learning. May God protect and comfort them and their families during this challenging time.
b. Pray for Canada as we enter into the three phases of re-opening and the opportunity to get vaccinated. Let us not be relaxed but continue to be mindful to keep safe and healthy and continue to pray for those who are infected. - Please pray for a confused and challenging world for the spark of hope that is beginning to rise among people. Pray for Manitoba as their COVID cases are on the rise. Also pray for the Indigenous Community as they mourn over the death of the 215 children whose remains were found in the Residential School and pray for God’s healing and comfort to them and their families at this sad news. Pray that we can share the hope of Jesus with others and that the Church can reach out to the world. Pray also for world leaders who are heavily burdened with fighting COVID while taking care of the needs of their people.
