CONCLUSION

Church Unseen Backup Prayer Team, please pray:
1. God, use us and work through us so that Psalm 57:5 would be true: “Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!”
2. For God to work through Bible Fellowship leaders to equip believers and future believers in their groups with God’s Word, through accountability, empowered by God’s Spirit, to replicate faithful, joyful followers of Jesus Christ.
3. That God would help us to welcome warmly guests we have on Sunday morning and give them the desire to return and to hear God’s Word.
4. For God’s wisdom on behalf of Alan and Delores Farlin, to know how to continue to serve Christ here in Minden after retirement.
5. For God to help you submit to Him entirely. Ask Him to guide you and empower you in anything He calls you to do. Pray that God would use you in your neighborhood and around the world in any capacity that He sees fit. (From the book, Multiply: Disciples Making Disciples, by Francis Chan, with Mark Beuving)
6. For God’s comfort and presence in the lives of sex trafficking victims. Pray that His Spirit will stir in them a burning desire to break loose from their bonds and seek help. Pray that they will come to faith in Christ and enter a relationship with their heavenly Father where they can experience true love.
7. For God to direct town council and school board members in our area to lead and make decisions according to his wisdom and truth.
8. That God would supply an Administrative Assistant for our church.
9. Any other requests that emerge from your Bible Fellowship, Iron Man/Woman team, or family.
Building Use Reminder
Please remember to check in with the office when planning for groups to meet in the church building so we can put you on the calendar. We have had several instances recently where more than one group planned to use the same room. We want to accommodate everyone as best we may, but planning ahead is key!
MEFC is once again looking for a part time administrative assistant. Please contact the office if you can help!
