CPC Prayer
Bless 0 Lord, The Church Periodical Club, that it may be an instrument for the spread of your Word throughout the world. Grant to its officers wisdom and patience, to its members perseverance and the spirit of sharing that asks no return. Bring more to take part in its mission and ministry. Bless our gifts and those who receive them, to the enrichment of individual lives, that we all may be servants of the risen Lord. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We ask for your continuing guidance for The Church Periodical Club. Help us all to know your will in
this ministry of the printed word. Help us all to see where there is need and to fill this need in the
spirit of Christian People Caring, remembering always that our Lord Jesus Christ came not to be
served but to serve. Make us aware: Help us to hear the voices of word-hungry people in your world,
and to respond.
This we ask in the name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
