This Wednesday 12/7 we have a prayer meeting in the church yellow room that starts at 7:30pm. If you cannot join us at church, please gather with friends and family wherever you are to be in prayer for the church. Our Pathway family is united in prayer every Wednesday from 8-9pm.
- Praise God for the Women's Christmas Tea this past Saturday. It was a great blessing from God to have more than half of the attendees be visitors to Pathway, and for increased intergenerational participation of attendees and volunteers. Praise God for using Yumi to share a personal and touching testimony and the message of hope in the Lord Jesus. Pray for those who have not yet committed to a relationship with Jesus to be moved by God to take that step of faith.
- Continue to pray for wisdom and discernment for our leadership team as we seek God's direction for the church facility in our current or future location. Pray also for favor with the Landlord as Pathway seeks early termination of its current lease.
- Young Children:
- that our kids (nursery, preschool-aged and special needs) will experience God's great love for them; that our kids will feel loved, nurtured, and safe while in our care
- that our teachers will remain passionate in teaching and continue to build relationships with the kids and their families
- pray for Peggy to be able to balance time as the lead coordinator and her involvement with other ministires; pray that God will provide her wisdom to lead this ministry
- G-Force:
- for 4 additional teachers and 8 high school assistants who love God and PCC kids
- for renewed energy and passion for the wonderful teachers we already have; protection from burnout
- God's wisdom for Brandy to be able to discern what God wants for G-Force and how best to demonstrate the love God has for our children
- Youth:
- that our students will own their own faith, not just inherited faith; that God and His love would be real and life changing
- that all of our youth open up to each other and for our community to grow (in numbers, in faith, and in bridging age gaps from middle school, to high school, and into college)
- that our students continue to shine the light and love of God on their campuses and at PCC; that they be leaders of faith to everyone
- Life Groups:
- to be a ministry that brings honor and glory to God that is used to build meaningful relationships with one another and with Jesus Christ
- for God to encourage, strengthen, and build-up our Life Group leaders; for their spiritual growth and protection
- for God to transform the life of each Life Group participant through a spirit of grace, acceptance, and welcoming between each member
- Finance:
- for continued growth of the church and support from all worshippers to make PCC financially sound
- for help from the landlord with our rental expenses, whether here or at our next location
- for getting other interested parties to rent and make better use of our space
- Welcome/Greeting/Follow-up:
- for additional people who are passionate in welcoming newcomers each Sunday and are willing to help with follow-up
- for newcomers to Pathway to feel welcomed and interested in connecting with Pathway and its life groups and ministries
- for greeters to connect and be an encouragement to everyone that attends Pathway; most importantly, to share God's love
- Leadership:
- to maintain a vital and intimate relationship with God in our individual lives
- to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of our church body as shepherds
- to be faithful and open to God's leading to deal with the church's financial situation, ministries impacting our community, and a future meeting place after our current lease expires
- Pray for open and humble hearts as we build Christian mentoring relationships at Pathway this year. Prayerfully consider how God would use you to be a mentor and/or be mentored.
- Pray for God's wisdom and leading as we minister in the Dublin and surrounding community. Thank God for the opportunity to partner with Open Heart Kitchen to help serve meals to those in need in our community and for our Food Ministry to distribute food to Wexford Way and Camille Place, and continue to be in prayer for these ministries. May God's love and hope be experienced in our community.
Please incorporate the following in your prayer:
- Praise Him for specific evidences of His glory, power, wisdom, grace, mercy, faithfulness, love, or other attributes in our lives this week.
- Give thanks with grateful and joyful hearts for specific blessings we have received this week.
- Come before Him with humble hearts and pray for our lives to align with His purposes.
- Pray for Pathway's leadership to seek Him first in all decision making, to lead by example, to be passionate and committed to growing our congregation as followers of Christ, and to receive encouragement from God and our congregation.
- Pray for commitment to God's vision and mission for Pathway and our responsibility as part of the body to fulfill the mission.
