PRAYERS
Help love our neighbours by praying for them and the organizations that serve them.
+ ADAM HOUSE
Pray for the 20 new residents at Adam House, the staff and church volunteers to find creative ways to enjoy community and Christian fellowship even as stricter Covid-19 measures have to be adopted to ensure everyone’s safety.
Pray for the children and youth at Adam House Downtown, North and East, that they are well supported in their learning and growth through the guidance of good Christian role models.
+ LIGHT PATROL
Pray for the staff as they reach out to youth housed in hotels, but who are often lonely, which is especially felt during the Christmas time.
+ SQUADS
Pray for the families impacted by the shooting in October. Many are still fearful and grieving. Pray especially for the youth to not harden their hearts due to all the violence they have experienced.
+ TORONTO CITY MISSION
Pray for families who often experience food insecurities, which is especially felt during holidays and the cold winter months.
Pray for TCM staff and volunteers to be able to bring some joy to the families.
