Invitation to Prayer from Faces of Children ... Wednesday


Faces of Children is an ecumenical prayer ministry under the auspices of First Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas. Their mission is to initiate ministries of prayer for children in churches, communities, and neighborhoods. In doing so, they 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).

Invitation to Prayer ... Wednesday

Hi Friends,

Please join us in lifting up the needs of vulnerable children around the world. Faces Of Children will be meeting at 11:00 this Wednesday, December 5 for prayer. We are now meeting in the prayer closet at First Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas. I hope you can join them to pray together for children in our community and around the world!

Yesterday we celebrated the first Sunday of Advent... Hope Sunday

"Light a candle named Hope at your table with your people because it is still dark outside. But it won't be night or dark grey days forever and right now, there are glimpses of the Kingdom still breaking through. There is light enough by which to live: speak hope."
-Sarah Bessey

It doesn't take much light to disrupt the dark. It doesn't take much hope to disrupt despair.

This week, as we pray for children around the world, I wanted us to look for those "glimpses of the Kingdom" breaking through... signs of hope always to be found if we're looking.
