Church prayer bulletin
January 2009
Please place the following weekly prayer requests in your church bulletins on the designated Sunday, and if possible pray about the need during that same service. We also encourage the entire church to follow the weekly pastor/church prayer schedule of the senior pastor.
Thank you for your prayer support!
Monthly prayer focusThe beginning of the new year is a great time to focus on things that we would like to see accomplished this year. How about beginning to pray for the salvation of one specific person in 2009? |

Prayer for pastors
Pray for pastors as they have the same needs and go through the same life experiences as the people in their congregations. Please pray for Pastor Greg and Carolyn Bright from Canora as they mourn the loss of Greg’s mother who passed away unexpectedly on Christmas Eve. Please also pray for Pastor Mike Housek from Beechy as he begins a six month Sabbatical . . . that it truly be a time of spiritual and physical refreshment and renewal.
Renewal @ MCC
Mennonite Central Committee is going through a re-visioning process to work at defining the task that God is calling MCC to in the 21st Century. Pray for a gathering taking place in Saskatoon on Saturday as a continuation of this process.
Refocusing @ Hope Fellowship continues
Please pray for the continued Refocusing process at Hope Fellowship Church in Saskatoon over the next few months. Include in your prayers the church, Dave Jackson the facilitator provided by the Canadian Conference of MB Churches, and Director of Harvest Saskatchewan Dwayne Barkman who is being mentored by Dave Jackson in the process.
