Prayer Points

This week we pray for:

  • Synod Strategic Planning and its Working Group as we continue in seeking and exploring where God is calling the SA Synod for the next 3-5 years in its missional priorities and direction
  • For Anti-Poverty week, we pray for people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, among the most marginalised and disadvantaged in the Australian community. We also pray for people helping in our social services around our nation, may God strengthen all
  • Leading to Mental Health Month (1st – 31st October 2020), we pray for those who are confronted by the sadness, ambiguity and confusion of mental illness, and for those upon whom they depend for attention and compassionate care.
