Prayers Needed! 

  • For our President, Governor, Mayor, and all the state and local government officials as they wrestle to deal with the threat of COVID-19 - We pray that You would help our leaders to govern wisely. Draw those who do not know You to Jesus and those who know You to rest in Your power and purpose for their lives. Bring them emotional stability, mental clarity, and physical endurance to do their work. Regardless of their faith, please bestow upon them Your grace and strength to effectively carry out their responsibilities to preserve peace and tranquility in the land so that Your people may flourish, and the gospel may spread unhindered throughout the area. Amen

  • A special prayer for healthcare workers – doctors, nurses, and hospital administrators.  God and Shepherd, we come together to ask your protection over all of Los Angele’s healthcare workers. These men and women have answered your call to protect the vulnerable of our city by providing medical care. Watch over them and protect each person as they imitate your compassion. Help all the individuals who will be affected by their work facing this epidemic outbreak. Let them feel the presence of your healing power through caring hands. Through your use of their unique talents, help us to affect change that brings people healing, comfort, and, most importantly, a reliance alone on your grace in Christ. We thank you and praise you. Amen.

Congregational Survey-

Click on the highlighted link below to complete the congregational survey. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfBsW7cn7ocy8AB2qkiH9fVcAXEpqwEpi7LeOZtUusRGbUG2g/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1 - to fill out a congregational needs survey prepared by Pastor Jon Buchholz, our CA-AZ District President. The survey is not long, but it will require you to consider prayerfully our current ministry and the skills and leadership traits that will help it reach its fullest potential. 

This information will help Pastor Buchholz prepare for our (as yet unscheduled) pre-call meeting, where we will discuss as a congregation what it means to call a pastor and what our ministerial needs and goals are. After this pre-call meeting, Pastor Buchholz will have enough information to create our first pastoral call list. 

God’s blessings as you think about how we can best serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ here in the San Fernando Valley.Please
