December, 2014

What we are praying for this month:

Pray that those of the LGBTQI Community will recognize God's gifts in their lives on a daily basis and recognize their talents that God has given them and allow God's expression of love through them.

Theme for December:

God came to us as a baby to give us life. What gift do you have and how are you to share it? What story does God want to tell through your life?

God is the one who gave our unique talents to us. We need not be afraid to share them. Let them shine! With the help of the Holy Spirit we can manage these talents so God can generously minister through them to others. 1 Peter 4: 10, 11.

Let's pray: 
Thank you God for your gift to us of your life for ours. Please help us to recognize and embrace the talents you have given us and follow your inspiration of how we are to share them.

Other scriptures:

2 Timothy 1: 6.  Fan into flame your gift!

Psalm 32: 8.  God guides you along the best pathway for your life.

James 3: 17, 18.  Your gift comes naturally and peacefully and is full of love.

Thank you for joining in this months prayers. 

A very blessed and happy Christmas to all!!

November, 2014

What we are praying for this month:

Let us remember to pray for our service men and women who are protecting our country, those fighting or working to maintain peace throughout the world 
and the families of our fallen soldiers.

Let us remember to pray for those in the LGBTQI Community who are still fighting for our rights, our protection and our benefits as equal human beings here in Canada and all over the world.

Let us remember to pray for our mayor, city council and for Rob Ford and his family.



The theme this month is to remember:

Let's remember to honour and pray for those who have fought for our freedom and those still fighting to maintain that and all those in authority positions in government, military and all levels of society.

Remember, God is real and there for everyone. We should love everyone, but that is only possible with God's help. With God's help we can be all that we are intended to be and do the things we are called to do.

Scriptures and meditations:

Romans 13: 1, 7, 1 Peter 2: 17.  Respect and honour those in government and all whom it is due.

John 15: 13, Psalm 116: 15. There is a great calling on those who choose to lay down their lives for the freedom of others and that calling affects greatly their families too. Remember that police, doctors, nurses, religious leaders, social justice and humanitarian aid workers, many in our society are included in these prayers.

Thank you all for joining with us in this month's prayers!
