Week of Lent IV

Let us continue in prayer for...
The Anglican Communion Network (ACN)'s efforts to make disciples.

From the Bible:
The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13

Father, we thank you that Jesus Christ gives us gifts to do his work, through the Holy Spirit living in us. We ask you, in Jesus' Name, to make abundant the spiritual gifts and work of the ACN.

We thank you for gathering a variety of gifted ministers to work on the Anglican Catechism, and ask your blessing on their effort.

We thank you for the coming conferences and retreats to build spiritual unity and maturity among your people. Sanctify the hearts of those teaching and learning, and the meeting places they will use.

Praise and honor to you, our Father, who with the Son and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns in glory everlasting. Amen.
