Unceasing Prayer
Ministry Expression
Edmonton Crossroads Community Church and Canon Ridge Community and Family Services, Edmonton, Alta.
Praise
What a blessing the Christmas season is when we are invited into people’s lives to bless them and share with them the gifts from community. We were able to share with over 500 families. We were also able to reach out to all the children, teens and their families that we send to camp in the summer months. Creator is continuing to grow us into his family!
Petition
Pray that we will continue to see the deepening of our faith journeys. Creator is at work–healing, restoring and reconciling people in community. Pray that the Spirit would continue to lead and guide us in all our journeys.
Intercession
We believe that the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob wants to set his people free and we are praying together to see this happen in our community. We ask for you to intercede on our behalf as we go out into our community–through our outreach van ministry, through our community and family services ministry, through our corps ministry–to share the message of love, forgiveness and freedom from all oppression.
