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:
May God, who seeth all things,
and who is the Ruler of all spirits
and the Lord of all flesh —
who chose our Lord Jesus Christ
and us through Him
to be a peculiar people —
grant to every soul that calleth
upon His glorious and holy Name,
faith, peace, patience, long-suffering,
self-control, purity, and sobriety,
to the well-pleasing of His Name,
through our High Priest and Protector,
Jesus Christ, by whom be to Him glory,
and majesty, and power, and honour,
both now and forevermore.
Amen.
-- Clement of Rome.

Evening:
O Lord God Almighty,
who didst endue Thy holy apostle
Barnabas with singular gifts
of the Holy Ghost;
leave us not, we beseech Thee,
destitute of Thy manifold gifts,
nor yet of grace to use them
always to Thy honour and glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
-- Barnabas.
