Montgomery County Prayer Breakfast – May 3, 2018

by

The Christian community joined in prayer on Thursday, May 3, 2018, asking for God to provide unity and his peace in America, Maryland and Montgomery County. As Christ’s ambassadors in Montgomery County, we ask for the power of God’s Spirit bring renewal and flourishing of Christ’s Kingdom into our homes, workplaces, and communities.

  • But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. [Ephesians 2:13-18]
