Prayer Concerns

MCEC In Prayer

Each week we pray for a faith community within the MCEC community of congregations. Please pray for the local GTA cluster.

Prayers for our World

Continue to pray for those who are living in areas impacted by war. We pray using the word of the Psalm 13: “How Long O Lord? Will you forget me forever? But I have trusted in your steadfast love, my heart shall rejoice in your salvation”.
