Invitation to Prayer: TOMORROW

Faces of Children is an ecumenical prayer ministry under the auspices of First Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas. Our mission is to initiate ministries of prayer for children in churches, communities, and neighborhoods. In doing so, we seek to provide an opportunity for people of God to join together, learn about children and their needs throughout the world, and celebrate Christ's love (especially as it relates to children).

Prayer for Forgiveness

“Forgive me, Holy One, for the sins I have committed against you both by what I have done and by what I have left undone. Forgive the words I have said that should have been left unsaid, and the times I was silent when I should have spoken out. Forgive my longing for the opportunities and things I do not have, and my indifference toward those you already have given me. In your mercy, set me free from what I have been, to live a new life in your Spirit, today and for all the days to come.”

A message from Chris Laufer, Coordinator, Faces of Children

Greetings, Faces of Children Intercessor,

The Midland Faces of Children prayer group will meet on Wednesday, February 26, 2014, at 11:30 a.m. in Room 217 at First Presbyterian Church-Midland, as we lift in prayer the children of our hearts and communities. The church is starting an 18-month-long renovation project and we won't have access to the Bride's Room during that time. We will have lunch ($5) and fellowship after our time of prayer. I hope you will be able to join us.

Thank you for praying for the children of our local and global communities. Your prayers matter! Your prayers are instruments of a gracious and generous God who uses them to bring healing and hope to a broken world. Thank you again for your faithfulness in prayer.

If you have prayer concerns or celebrations about children, those who care for them, those who have authority over them, or those who harm them (the really hard prayers to say sometimes), please send them to me at at claufer@facesofchildren.net, or give me a call.

Grace and peace,

Chris
