Bishop's Update - Gander
Bishop Charlie shares about his upcoming trip to Newfoundland, his first visit to St Matthew's Anglican Church, Gander, DiscipleLife 2020: Joint Anglican/Lutheran Conference, 2 Corinthians 4:5-6 and more.
Bishop Charlie would so appreciate your prayers for all these things and for the DiscipleLife conference (Feb 13-15). Here's a prayer written for the conference:
"Our loving Heavenly Father, we give you thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him You have reconciled the world to Yourself and called us to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; and to teach everything he commanded us.
We pray for the DiscipleLife 2020 Conference in February in Orlando, where Anglican and Lutheran Christians will meet together. We pray that You would renew and equip us for the ministry of making disciples. Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon our churches. Empower us to make disciples. Enable us to share the love of Christ with all people. Raise up labourers for the harvest as we pray, learn, and worship together. In all things may we work as one to bring glory to Your Name so that the world may come to acknowledge Your Son as Lord and Savior.
“Now to him whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.
Lord in your mercy.
Hear our Prayer"
