Praying for the Elder Team // Read 1 Tim. 5:17; Acts 6:4; 1 Tim. 3:1-2; Titus 1:7; James 1:5

Lord, we thank you for the Elder team and we pray for them by name today: Mitchel Lee, Moses Alade, Trent Gladstone, Guy Bunyard, Paul Watston, Jimmy Wiggs and Chris Wolf. God, we ask you to guide and direct them as they direct the affairs of Grace Community Church; give them wisdom in all that they do. May they wholeheartedly give their attention to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Lord, we ask you to keep them above reproach, devoted to their families, temperate, self-controlled, respectable and hospitable. May they be gentle and honest as they interact with people. We thank you for their lives, Lord, and ask for you to bless them and keep them and to shine your face upon them and bring them peace.
