Month of prayer

Inspired by Philippians 4:6-7, we invite you to join the leadership of Christ Community for a month of focused and guided prayer. Let's come together in faith, seeking the Lord's wisdom and leading as a community of believers. 

We will start the month of prayer with a special church-wide worship service on Wednesday, October 1st from 6:00-7:00pm in the MP Room. This will be the launching point for a focused and directed month of prayer. All midweek groups, studies, and gatherings will be from 7:00-8:00pm following the service.

Uniting as a Community of Prayer Warriors This October

As we enter the month of October, Pastor Ryan will be sharing a heartfelt message about the powerful opportunities we have to come together in prayer. This month will be dedicated to intentionally uniting as a community of prayer warriors, lifting up the Gospel of Jesus with fervent and consistent prayer.

A Month of Focused Prayer Opportunities

Throughout October there will be numerous scheduled times and special gatherings designed to encourage us to pray collectively and purposefully. These opportunities will allow us as a body of believers to set aside time to seek God’s guidance. We are building a foundation of support and spiritual strength within our church family.

Prayer Prompts and Guided Prayers

To help guide your personal and family prayer time, we will be providing prayer prompts and guided prayers here on our church blog. These resources are designed to keep our whole congregation aligned in purpose and spirit as we pray for specific needs and pressing matters in our community and beyond.

Focus Areas for October Prayer

1. Pray for Our Youth and Children:
   We recognize the importance of investing in the next generation. This month we will lift up our youth and children, specifically asking God to protect, guide, and inspire them. We will pray for their faith to grow strong and for them to be bold witnesses for Jesus wherever they go.

2. Pray for Our Church:
   Our church community is called to be a light in the neighborhood. We will seek God’s wisdom in leadership decisions, unity among members, and the expansion of our ministry’s reach. We commit to praying that each person involved in our church will be equipped and empowered to serve faithfully.

3. Pray for Our Community and City:
   Every city faces challenges and opportunities. We will intercede in prayer for our community leaders, schools, local ministries, and social services. We will lift up prayers for peace, provision, and outreach, that the love of Christ might spread far and wide.

4. Pray for Our State and Country:
   Our prayers will extend to those in positions of authority on state and national levels. We will ask God to grant wisdom, justice, and righteousness to leaders, as well as healing and unity in a nation often divided.

5. Pray for Our World:
   Finally, we will hold the needs of the global church and the world before God’s throne. We will pray for persecuted believers, places of conflict, and areas where the Gospel is least known. We will ask God to move powerfully among all nations.

Join Us in Prayer

This October we encourage every member of Christ Community Church to participate in these prayer opportunities. Whether you join us in person at the scheduled gatherings or pray through the prompts provided here, your prayers matter deeply. Together let us stand united as a community of prayer warriors, interceding for the Gospel to spread with power and grace.

May God bless this season of prayer and draw us ever closer to Him and one another.
