e requirements of each ministry. Strong and discerning leadership who can navigate the church through this season and deliver us to higher ground. Improved communication and connection between the various ministries, staff and congregation. Divine and deeper yoking among small group members, leaders and coaches. Protection and guarding against discontentment, division, discouragement and discord. Staffing Budgeting for 2012-2013 Baptism Ministry: That the Lord will provide creative options for us to baptize adults at our current gathering spots or move us into a more permanent home. Also, that the Lord will stir up the hearts of those who need to take this next step in their faith. Couples Ministry: That the Lord would prepare dating and engaged couples to take the next series of classes to prepare for marriage.
