30 Days of Prayer: November is our month of prayer for world missions, particularly for restricted-access countries where believers are often persecuted for their faith. Mission To The World is providing a printable 30 Days of Prayer Calendar for the month of November. It is available to download from their site, or we have printed copies available on the table in the narthex. In addition, this year MTW has launched a webpage version of the 30 days of prayer calendar. Each day includes a link for additional information. And finally, you can join MTW 30 Days of Prayer on Instagram, where they will share these requests throughout the month of November. A direct link to these three sites will be sent out by email to the congregation this week. Please watch for it, and thank you for all your prayers for world missions!
