Prayer Points Christmas & New Year
We believe in a God that hears and answers prayer. Why not print this page and use it during the Festivities?
Christmas
Pray that the peace announced by the angels on the night of Christ's birth may become a reality in hearts and homes throughout the world.
Pray that the presence of 'God with us' in the Person of Jesus Immanuel may be experienced in all our worship services in Kinross over Christmas and that those who may only be occasional attenders at church may be captivated by the love of Christ.
Pray for all who are struggling at this time of year because of ill-health, bereavement, anxiety or loneliness, that the joy announced to the world in the coming of Christ may become the lived experience of those who are without hope and without God in the world.
New Year
As the united parish of Kinross-shire comes into being at the turn of the year, pray for God's blessing on all the practical things that have to be done to ensure the smooth running of congregational life and ask God's guidance for the united Kirk Session as the ministry and mission of the church is re-envisioned for the years ahead, that all may be done to the honour of the name of Jesus.
Entrust to God the work of the Church for the coming year and recommit yourself to the part you are called to play in it.
Seek an out-pouring of the Holy Spirit upon on all the people of Kinross shire that the Good News of Christ may be heard by all and that many may come to know God in a new way.
Amen
