As our
church, Santa Cruz Valley United Methodist Church, goes into the next
phase of our church’s life we realize that we are up against some
difficult challenges. We believe that God can guide us through
these challenges, and we recognize the importance of basing all of our
decisions on prayer. We have asked our congregation to contact
their friends, families, and church connections, and ask them to make a
one year commitment to pray for our church on a regular basis. We
are open to hearing what God wants us to be doing next. If you are
one of the people responding to this request, we ask you to share with
us what you hear from God. We would also like for you to e-mail
our pastor, Rev. Mark Conrad (revupracing@yahoo.com), and give him your
name and where you live. We want to make a list to share with our
church family of those who are praying for us. Your commitment to
walk with us through prayer is making a difference!
Some specific items that need prayer are:
-
Help us to keep our focus on
making new Christian disciples, and keeping our church family rooted in
love.
-
Finding effective ways to
follow-up with those who have visited our church.
-
Locating financing to build the
first phase of our church building, and once we have that financing the
ability to fully honor our obligations.
-
Strength and wisdom for our
church leaders, and help in preparing leaders for the future.
-
Guidance on growing our mission
ministries.
