A SEASON OF PRAYER TO BEGIN A NEW YEAR

Every day, every month, every hour is best begun with prayer - that unceasing awareness of God's presence and guidance. Knowing that God is with us and is extending his grace and love to us even when we are not "tuned in" to it sustains us even in those times.

As we enter 2007, a new year, let us intentionally pray with anticipation for what God will do in our midst. Here are some things on my prayer list for the new year:

1. I pray for families affected by war and violence, both around the world and right here in Wisconsin. May healing and wholeness come, may God help us find peace to live with one another in our neighborhoods and in the world neighborhood.
2. I pray for those persons who will come to know Christ in 2007 through the outreach of our congregations, large and small. May our programs of evangelism, outreach and worship touch people for Jesus Christ.
3. I pray for each congregations seeking pastoral leadership. Strengthen the interim pastors, lay leaders and pulpit search committees as they move through these days.
   
4. I pray for the ABCUSA, the biennial/centennial to take place in Washington, DC. May God guide as we reform our ABC family to be a more effective tool for mission and ministry.
5. I pray for the ministry of Camp Tamarack under the new leadership of Jane Mathison.
6. I pray for the Missional Church Initiative under the leadership of Sam Brink.
7. I pray for the Milwaukee Extension Centre of Central Baptist Theological Seminary under the leadership of Timothy Ashley, Adam Bond and Maxine Ashley
8. I pray for Housing Ministries of American Baptists of Wisconsin under the leadership of Carmen Porco.
9. I pray for Project Focal Point and the Milwaukee Christian Center.
10. I pray for the work of American Baptist Women's Ministries, American Baptist Men and the Ministers Council.
11. I pray for you and your family. May you find in 2007 a closer walk with one another and with our loving God.

Please join me in pray as we begin the new year and note the General Secretary's Prayer Net on the region Website.
