Church Prayer Diary May 2026
Mission Focus – Bible Society
The Patmos Global Summit for Bible Engagement is dedicated to one of the most crucial questions of our time: when people have access to the Bible, how can we help them open it and encounter the transformative love of Jesus?
The Patmos Summit will be a significant moment in global Bible mission. Please pray that those involved will see God at work during this Summit and beyond.

Prayer for the community
Living God,
Draw us deeper into your love;
Jesus our Lord,
Send us to care and serve;
Holy Spirit,
Make us heralds of good news.
Stir us, strengthen us, teach and inspire us to live your love
with generosity and joy,
imagination and courage;
for the sake of your world and in the name of Jesus. Amen.
