Reading: Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

November 2015 PRAYER CALENDAR

This month is important for our congregation. On the 17th we have meetings with members of the Path of Renewal Team to discern whether we should be part of this pilot process. It is a long process and will require some changes in the way we do things but it is expected that those congregations which are involved will see spiritual and numerical growth. The process involves discerning where God is calling to work and also who is to be involved in that work. To that end our prayers are focussed on asking God to reveal his plans and to ask him what part he wants us to play.

You might not have done this before but simply ask God what he wants our congregation to do and what part you are to play. Listen for God speaking— sometimes you’ll have a thought, or a feeling, or the same thing might come up in conversation with different people.

When that happens, write it down and add it to your prayers, asking God to make it clear. Please let us know what you feel God is saying—he doesn’t just speak to Ministers and elders, so please give it a try.
