We invite you to pray for the clergy, evangelists, catechists and all church leaders, as they lead Holy Week and Easter Day services. As we come, perhaps tired and unprepared, perhaps hungry for a new beginning oreager for the light to shine in the darkness, may they be inspired and strengthened by the Holy Spirit to lead us in our worship and help us all to draw closer to our resurrected Lord Jesus.
