We pray that all our congregations and ministries would be biblically grounded. This was our special focus for Synod 2025 and for the year ahead. We pray for our preachers, teachers, leaders, and members: that all we do would be grounded upon, formed by, and fueled through the good news of Jesus Christ, passed down in Holy Scripture.
We pray that all our congregations and members would rightly see ourselves as on mission in this world, as ambassadors for Christ. May we see the needs of others—body, spirit, and soul—in our communities and around the world, and sacrificially give to love them well.
We pray for our efforts to proclaim the Gospel across the diocese. We pray that each of our members, young and old, would be equipped, encouraged, and commissioned as bold witnesses to the good news of Jesus. We pray that resources like The Word One to One would help equip us in this Great Commission. Learn more: dioceseofcanada.ca/bold-witnesses
