Prayer for the Week of 5/31

Ephesians 3:1-13 is written to provide a source of encouragement to the church.  Participation in the church of God and being part of the purposes of God are a source of encouragement for the church.

Elders:

• Pray that the Elders would be encouraged by the purposes of God and that they would continue to lead in ways that make the purposes of God a priority.
