This week we pray for:

• For the Uniting Church on its 44th anniversary, as we remember where we have come from and discern the church we are called to be into the future
• For all in the Uniting Church who go above and beyond to faithfully serve their local communities and wider society
• For the on-going journey of the Uniting Church to be a truly intercultural church, where people from different races, languages and cultures are brought together in Christ.

Whether running a home or building a house, working at a factory or supporting a ministry there is one vital principal that is all-embracing, all our undertakings require a total dependence upon God, without which all efforts will be frustrated, and all activities will be rendered unsuccessful.
