22 Thank you Lord for the gift of years: for
wisdom and experience, for the ability to look back on our lives and discern how you have been working out your loving purpose in us.
23 Praise God for the way he renews us daily,
and for the way that God uses us for the glory of his Kingdom. Ask him to show you how he’d like to use you more today.
29 As the schools close for the summer
break, pray that teachers will have a refreshing break and return with renewed enthusiasm.
30 Pray for children and families starting the summer break, that they would have a safe and happy break.
Connecting with God, each other and the world
24 Pray for the young people in our congregation as we come together for the end of year celebration. Give thanks for the families who come and the leaders who give so freely of their time.
25 As Jesus entrusted his disciples with his
misson to the world, we pray that we, who have felt the transforming power of your love, will bear witness to that love far and wide.
26 God of all, thank you for all those who choose to freely and generously share the treasure of their gifts to build your kingdom across the world.

Pray that the Vietnamese government’s new religion law will lead to reduced harassment and persecution of Christians, and that it will be the first of many steps towards greater religious freedom in Vietnam. Pray that those imprisoned who face brutal treatment and abuse under trumped up charges of “subversion” - often for supporting the freedom of others- will be acquitted and released. As committees and the Kirk Session meet this evening, pray for wisdom and discernment as we try to follow God’s plans for our church.
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40: 31
