Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa

2022 LCMC THREE DAYS OF PRAYER

Every LCMC congregation, member and pastor is being invited to set aside some time each day of January 4th, 5th & 6th for prayer.
Let’s come together as an association of congregations across the U.S. and
around the world to pray!
The church will never rise up until we first get down on your knees.

Day 1, Jan. 4th: Pray for our Congregations and Leaders

“Lord, we pray that You bless our congregations and leaders with Your favor and with Your provision to carry out the ministry and mission You have in store for us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.”

Day 2, Jan. 5th: Pray for Those Who Don’t Yet Know Jesus as Savior and Lord,
and for the Prodigals 

“Lord, give us Your heart for those who don’t yet know you as Savior and Lord, and for the prodigals. Create in us a boldness to love them and serve them and to share our God-stories with them as opportunities arise. Open our eyes to be aware of everyday encounters in which we can minister Your love and Your power to those in need. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.”

Day 3, Jan. 6th: Pray for Our International Partners

“Thank You, Lord, that You have bound us together with these sister churches and leaders and partner networks. We pray that You will give them protection and provision. We pray that You will show us how we can come alongside them, encourage them, and serve with them. Lord, grant our brothers and sisters Your favor in their cities, communities, and countries. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Celebrated on the last Sunday in October, Reformation Sunday commemorates the Protestant Reformation as well as Martin Luther, who nailed his 95 Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517, the eve of All Saints’ Day. Join in the recognition of Reformation Sunday by wearing red to worship on October 31st.

All Saints’ Day is November 1st.
We will also celebrate All Saints’ Day on October 31st. On Sunday, October 31st, we will be remembering Brothers and Sisters in Christ who have died in the faith this past year and now rest from their labors with Jesus in paradise. 
All Saints’ Day is a celebration of all the whole victorious church in Heaven, who will come with Jesus when he returns (1 Thessalonians 4).
