I just received my box of bookmarks from Navpress. They have packets of them to use as prayer guides on a whole slew of topics. I thought maybe this year I would insert a bookmark in the church bulletins on the first Sunday of each month, with a different topic each month. That way our whole church could concentrate on praying together throughout the year on 12 different topics. This is how I think we'll work it:January - Prayers That Birth Revival (start the new year off right)
February - Prayers For Prodigals (as Lent begins)
March - Prayers of Repentance (approaching and during Easter)
April - Life-Giving Prayers For Your Church (celebrating the resurrection)
May - 25 Ways to Experience God (great for spring)
June - Prayers For Missionaries and Their Families (many will be on furlough)
July - 31 Ways to Praise (there are 31 days in July)
August - Scriptural Prayers For The Next Generation (school starts)
September - Prayers of Hope in Times of Calamity (9/11)
October - Partnering With God In The Struggle Over Sin (could be anytime)
November - Praying For The Lost (prior to Advent)
December - Praying For Your Family (because we'll likely be seeing them)
