Mighty God, Strong to Save... 6 September 2026

  Mighty God, strong to save, you have willingly accommodated yourself to us by not only speaking the Holy Scriptures, but in sending your Son to us and for us. We pray for your Church and the World. For this congregation (gathered and scattered) we pray. Set captives free, open blind eyes, release prisoners, turn sorrows to gladness, and make our homes places of light, love, harmony and health.

We ask for your ongoing help, strength, protection, deliverance and sustenance of your Ch...
