KOINONIA PRAYER LIST

PRAYER REQUESTS (joys and concerns) should be called in or e-mailed to the church office. With your permission, they will be listed in the Koinonia prayer list, and announced in worship so that the church family can pray for the mentioned needs. Please keep the office updated on the requests.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.   Romans 8:26

MORNING AND EVENING PRAYERS
Morning
Eternal God,
who committest to us the swift and solemn trust of life;
since I know not what a day may bring forth,
but only that the hour for serving Thee is always present,
may I wake to the instant claims of Thy holy will;
not waiting for tomorrow, but yielding today.
In all things draw me to the mind of Christ, that ...
Thou mayest own me as at one with Him and Thee.
Amen.
   -- James Martineau (1805-1900)

Evening
On going to bed:
let me be mindful of Thy Name,
O Lord, in the night,
and keep Thy law.
Let my evening prayer ascend to Thee,
and Thy Mercy descend to me;
Thou that givest songs in the night;
that makest the outgoings of the morning
and evening to praise Thee;
that givest to Thy beloved the sleep of health.
Amen.
   -- Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626)
