PRAYER REQUEST:
Please pray for former City of the Lord member Pam Bergez. A life-threatening cancer has returned, and a final round of chemotherapy is commencing that offers a slim chance of success. She is asking for a miracle but is at peace with God's will. Her family--husband Ron, and children Veronica, Raymond, Vallery and Victoria--thanks you for your intercession.

Message from OCC for 2024 Convocation:
The Overall Community Council of City of the Lord is inviting all our brothers and sisters to dedicate the next two weeks to some form of fasting and extra prayer in preparation for our Convocation. There is a growing sense that this year's gathering will prove to be a powerful and pivotal moment in our life together.
In our prayer and fasting, let us all earnestly seek the Lord for:
- openness to hear God speak to you and to us all during the Convocation,
- the grace to respond to the direction from the Holy Spirit in the days ahead, and
- a spirit of gratitude for 40 years of covenant life in City of the Lord!
Finally, let us also pray for our speakers--Ralph Martin and Paul and Rachel Balducci--to be filled with the grace and wisdom of the Holy Spirit as they prepare to speak His word to us.
Come, Holy Spirit! Bring us together in Your grace towards a future of hope!
