Jesus prayed not only for His disciples but for those who would believe through their message – that includes us. His prayer for us is for our unity as His body, and for our destiny – that we might behold His glory face to face. Scripture from John 17:20-26.

The church that was born on Pentecost Sunday was on fire, ablaze with the coming of the Holy Spirit and marked by intense fellowship, earnest prayer, and fervent outreach. The first Pentecost was unique and historically momentous, but let’s be open to the dynamic of the Holy Spirit in our day as well. Scripture from Acts 2:1-21.
Comments from Colfax
I’ve been conducting a Prayer Renewal Seminar at Bethany Lutheran Brethren Church in Colfax, WI, since Sunday. I’ve been impressed with the receptivity and expectancy of this group. Last night I had them write down prayer requests for their church and their individual lives. Their responses impressed me – “That my children would acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior,” “That God will show us how we can be a part of extending His Kingdom here in this community,” “That God will give us confidence to share our faith.” God is renewing His church in Colfax! Pray for them as they continue to seek God’s leading for their future and pray for Pastor George and Jacqui Schweitzer and their family as they become established in the community and their congregation.
