Praying for our church:
We are seeking God’s wisdom for dealing with five specific challenges our church is facing.
Today please pray for God’s wisdom in dealing with the following challenge:

• How can we direct more of our resources to evangelistic efforts that target those in our community who are unchurched and could be assimilated into our family of faith?
• Also pray for our “UNHINDERED TASK FORCE” to have God’s wisdom in finding solutions to our challenges.
