We would ask that the presbytery pray for our congregation as we seek to

Trinity, Midland -
2 Corinthians 3:2 You
yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, to be known and
read by all; 3:3 and you show that you are a letter of Christ,
prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the
living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
3:4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.
Almighty God, may your churches be filled with countless
letters penned in your love, ready to be sent into the world, whose
stories stir our hearts and inspire our imaginations toward hope, joy,
peace, and faithfulness. Amen.

Grace, Midland - We
are excited about what God is doing in our midst. Please pray for us
as we continue to grow into a church where folks want to be; a church that
exudes the welcoming, loving spirit of Christ; a church that worships with
spirit and joy; a church that shows it cares by touching the surrounding
community with excitement, compassion and the love of Jesus Christ. We
are grateful for several new babies in our congregation and look forward to
putting our newly renovated nurseries and children’s classrooms to use as
we nurture these little ones in the faith.
We ask for prayers particularly for our involvement with the Midland
Chin Christian Fellowship, a congregation of Burmese refugees that also
worships in our building, and for their new pastor.

Pray for us as we minister in this northeast area of El Paso, that we may
continue to provide food for the many hungry persons through our Food
Pantry. And pray that we can

life; that others may find their lives strengthen, their faith deepened and
their lives empowered as we worship the Living God in Jesus Christ.
Amen.
