Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa

Our Saviour’s is part of 750 congregations across the country in Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ, which have set aside January 7-9 for Three Days of Prayer.

Please join us at 12:30 pm Tuesday-Thursday,
January 7-9, as we begin 2020 seeking Christ together!

LCMC Three Days of Prayer

Day One: January 7 -This is a day focused on confession. We have made our lives, our relationships—and even the church—in our own image. We confess that the church belongs to Jesus and not to us. We gather to lay down our pride, our sin and our agenda and ask the Lord of the church for forgiveness, which He gives freely and with mercy.

Day Two: January 8 – This is a day of petition. Pray for your congregation, for the pastor, for the leaders, for those who carry out ministries, for the Sunday School teachers, for the Confirmation leaders, for those leading adult Bible studies and for those leading small groups. Pray for those in hospital and nursing home ministries. Pray for all those connected to your church that they might know God’s redeeming love for all in Christ.

Day Three: January 9 – This is a day for vision. Pray that the Holy Spirit will again move through the hearts and minds of leaders and pastors that God’s vision for His church might be revealed and fulfilled. This is a time of prayer for renewal, revival and encouragement. Pray for God’s vision.
