COMMUNITY PRAYER March 24, 2024
LORD Jesus, when You entered Jerusalem triumphantly as Messiah, there was great joy for many people who worshipped You. But through God’s gift of everlasting life because You gave Your life on the cross, everyone can accept that gift by inviting You into their lives and hearts. Each person becomes a new creation at the very moment they make that decision, forever changed. And when the temple veil was torn in two when You died, each person with faith can now come before God’s throne of grace. Then we experience God’s love and grace personally, in a whole new way. This is truly a cause for great joy among all of God’s creation. Amen
· We pray for Marcel's family members and others in Ukraine and Russia in dangerous situations during the war
families:
Father, thank You that we are able to return to our regular activities with the addition of using the new Zoom technology to extend our ministry. We pray to be able to overcome any technical challenges to having services both in the sanctuary and via Zoom.
Be with us as we plan for Culmore's future and celebrate 70 years of service to the community!
