This Saturday, October 29, Urban Hope, Philadelphia, Pa., will be having the annual Festival of Hope. Please pray for the block party as it gives Urban Hope an opportunity to light up the night with Jesus’ love. Pray that families will be encouraged as they interact with some of the church members who will be running small carnival games, serving food, and sharing hope through conversation and prayer. Pray that families will be intrigued by this showing of Christ’s love and therefore come to their Sunday Celebration Service. Pray that God will help them to love their neighbors well. Pray too that He will use this event to draw people into a personal relationship with Him.
On November 4 and 5, several women from the Urban Hope church will be heading out of the city for a retreat. The theme is “Filled to Overflow.” Pray that those women that God invites to go on this retreat would answer with obedience and hearts eager to know Him in a more intimate way. Pray that relationships among sisters-in-Christ would be strengthened and that walls of mistrust would be knocked down by Christ’s love. Pray too as the Urban Hope staff finishes up plans for their time together. – from CE National
