Our Synod’s Faith Formation team asks you to spend a daily minute in prayer for the ministries taking place across the Synod.  The idea is for those interested in prayerfully supporting the work of the individuals, congregations and ministries of the Synod, as well as our bishop and staff, to make a pledge to pause one minute each day and offer up prayer on their behalf. 

The team suggests that you set an alarm or phone reminder at 1:11 pm each day to stop and pray.  “This minute was not chosen because it is convenient, but because it is evocative; it reminds us that we are first and foremost people of prayer,” says the Rev. Leslie Richard, a spiritual director and member of the team.

Pastor Richard unveiled this effort at the Bishop’s Convocation in November and 28 rostered leaders pledged to pray daily for our common work.  Others have signed up along the way.  Now it’s your turn.  Visit the Synod website to register your commitment to pray A Minute for the Synod.  All we ask is prayer.  (You’re not signing up for committee work.) 

Won’t you add your prayers to the multitude already at prayer?  Pledge to join us at 1:11 pm each day for one minute of prayer for the work and well-being of our Synod.
