The Senate has committed to pray for the body concerning our deep divisions over homosexuality and our profound hope to go on together.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
For it is in the giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
it is in dying that we are born again to eternal
life. Amen.
St. Francis of Assisi
Susan Chaffin
Senate prayer partners have agreed to pray on the day of the month designated.
Ministers Council Senate
Prayer Partner Commitment
At our recent Senate Session the Denominational Relationships Committee challenged us to intentional fasting and prayer throughout the year as we give the Jerusalem Council Model process to God. As part of this process, prayer partners are asked to commit to one day each month when they will connect with each other and specifically lift this process up to God.
Following is a schedule to serve as a reminder of the day you and your prayer partner are assigned to this task. On the indicated day of each month connect with each other. The Spiritual and Personal Wholeness Committee will forward to you a guide for each month. We hope this will serve as a reminder to each of us that we are to be constant in prayer.
