A Prayer for the ABC/NYS Biennial – October 3-4 in Utica, NY - We pray this morning for all the American Baptist Churches in our Region, and not just our own. In Christ, we are no longer strangers and aliens to you, O God. We are members of the household of God. Our witness and ministry with other churches is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Jesus is our cornerstone. We pray for our Regional leadership and the building up of churches. We pray for the gathering of Baptists in Utica in October. May it be a time to grow, move, and be built up together. In Christ’s name. Amen.
