Prayers for the Week:

· For the Church, LCAQD; that it may celebrate the coming holy days with true faith and devotion
· For the pastors Bishop Paul smith, District Bishop Mark Vainikka; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastors; that we may not regard them from a human point of view, but receive them as God's ambassadors
· For all Christians, undergoing the discipline of Lent, that they may press on towards the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus
· For those preparing for baptism or confirmation at Easter
· For those who prepare for the death of a loved one, and for hospices and those who work with the dying
· For those whose lives are without hope, that they may see the new thing that God is doing through Christ
· For lands and places experiencing drought, that God would send rain to end famine and hunger
· For the poor, that we may serve them with the gifts that God has given us
· For those who have been blessed by God with status and possessions, that they may count all things as rubbish in order to gain Christ and be found by him
· That we may face death in the certain hope of resurrection, and that we may be raised up together with all who have died in the faith of Christ
