Prayer Schedule for August 2025

We invite you to join us in praying for the needs of the churches and ministries that make up the LCMS Atlantic District by incorporating the prayers below into your corporate worship prayer time.

Week of August 3

Lord God, we praise You for the work of Trinity Lutheran Church in New Hyde Park.  Thank You for the service of The Rev. Jimmy Lalljie and this congregation as they love, serve, and teach others in their neighborhood of Nassau County.  Bless their outreach, provide for their every need, and cause many people to be discipled in Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Week of August 10

Gracious Heavenly Father, bless the twenty-fifth anniversary of SonRise Lutheran Church being observed this weekend in the beautiful Adirondack region of New York State.  As this congregation serves people throughout the year, may they see and celebrate the joy of being Your hands and feet, bringing the Good News of salvation in Christ to all. Guide Pastor Bruce Rudolf and the parishioners of SonRise as they embrace the future with excitement and courage, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Week of August 17

Lord Jesus Christ, we praise and thank You for the people of Mount Zion Lutheran Church in Harlem.  Continue to heal Pastor Ramsudh and strengthen SMP Vicar Claude Howard as they serve You in righteousness. As Mount Zion continues to shine with the light of Christ in Manhattan, may the Holy Spirit lead and guide them so that abundant fruit for the kingdom may be produced, for You reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever, Amen.

Week of August 24

Our Father in heaven, thank You for the witness of True Light Lutheran Church in Manhattan.  As this congregation reaches out to all people, we pray that You would provide for them, encourage them, and empower them by Your Holy Spirit to do the good works You have laid out for them to do.  Bless the Rev. Dr. Joshua Hollmann and all the members of that parish as they seek to do Your will, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Week of August 31

Lord Jesus, receive our thanks for the Veterans of the Cross who have served You in the Atlantic District over the years, especially as these ordained workers, commissioned workers, and their loved ones will be  at a luncheon honoring them this week.  Many of them still preach, teach, and serve throughout the Atlantic District and for that we praise Your name. Raise up more to workers to be pastors and other servants for the schools, organizations, and congregations of Your Church so that, “Set Apart to Serve,” they may do so with courage and zeal, in the holy and precious name of Jesus, Amen.
