This Sunday at Church: Pray for any Church you know going through the Process of Having a New Elder

We added another elder this year, and we have seen the spiritual attacks. I know of a couple other churches that have grown and added elders, and they, too, have had interesting seasons.

Our Adversary hates unity and love, so may we pray for all churches, especially those sticking to biblical standards.
