Prayer Points

This week we pray for:

  • Our Earth, God's beautiful Creation, and all those who are determined to be better stewards
  • The young adult leaders of our Uniting Church. May they grow in the knowledge of God's infinite love, be shaped by Jesus' words and ministry, and be inspired by the Holy Spirit in their sense of purpose
  • Let not fear and anxiety predominate our thoughts and determine our actions, but with calm and balanced minds approach these days ahead.
