Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

We are now in the midst of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.  The theme for this year is "Called to Proclaim the Mighty Acts of the Lord."

Although the Christian Church has had its divisions over doctrine as well as practice, we still need to pray for us to be able work together in order to fulfill Christ's mission.   Jesus did pray that we might be one.  Our witness will be stronger as we exhibit a sense of oneness that we all have in Christ.

Yes, we in the church are called to proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord.  Churches and individual Christians need to be telling not only the greatness of God but also our own stories of God active in our lives.  This is not always easy in our culture.  We in America have become more diverse and wonder how we will be received.  May we have the courage to speak out on God at work.

Therefore, I would encourage you to pray for your church as well as for your own individual life that you might give testimony to the "mighty acts" of the Lord!

Pastor Marty
