COMMISSIONING SUNDAY
CHILDREN'S LESSON

Praying for our youth.

As we conclude a summer of praying for Zion’s youth, continue praying alone & with others – pray in all circumstances:

• on the phone with others


• in Sunday School before starting class


• as you wake in the night & a youth’s name floats into your head


• as you drive to work (put a reminder on a sticky note in your car).

This generation of youth will need to be “Jesus” to a world that is changing very quickly.
ACTS 1:14 - (the emerging church) They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women & Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Names for September 10: Kristen Myers and David Nafziger.
