Prayer Items May 24th, 2020

For our Church Community

  1. In the uncertain situation of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, the closure of the church building, and suspension of all Logos activities except for Pre-recorded Worship Services, let us pray with one heart to look to God for guidance and ride out the difficult times together as a Faith Community. May we realize that Logos is not the building we worship together at, but the Disciple Making Community of believers.

  2. Our 2020 Church Sub Theme is “Go & Bear Fruit” and this is the continuation of the 3-year main theme “Go Bear Fruit”. Let us actively pursue spiritual growth and encourage people whom we are disciple making to be disciple makers themselves. Please pray for the direction and execution of our 2020 church plans by our pastors and leaders in all 3 language congregations.

  3. Pray for brothers and sisters affected by the outbreak, – everyday essential  workers on the front lines, medical staffs caring for patients, those who are temporarily laid off, those who still need to go to work daily or need to work from home, students who need to adapt to online learning and teachers who teach online.

  4. We thank God for leading Logos for the past 39 years. May we be reminded of God’s goodness and work through our Church and how looking back at God’s work through Logos spurn us on to become a Disciple Making Church and a blessing to others during this COVID-19 Pandemic.

  5. As we continue to journey into this social distancing period, let’s take this opportunity to connect with our family and friends, meet their needs during this COVID-19 outbreak, and to encourage each other to persevere.

  6. Please continue to pray for wisdom for our church leadership as they continue to navigate through this season of COVID-19 and make plans for to adjust to the “new normal”.
