2 Corinthians 5:16-21
16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.[b] The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling[c] the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Prayer Points:
1) For the existing Pastors’ Prayer Group that has been meeting for many years.  That God would strengthen the pastors in this group and give them a vision for how God would want to use them for expanding unity in the body of Christ, for His glory.
2) For revival in Concord, and that Christians would commit themselves to being living sacrifices for God, according to Romans 12:1-2
3) For strength and unity among area Christian churches in prayer, worship, faithfulness to the Word of God, and in service to the approximately 21,000 residents in Concord
4) For the Christian churches to stay strong in this season, with a continuing focus to reach the community with the Gospel
5) For the Body of Christ to pray for the people of Concord, and that they would turn to God for all their needs
6) That the power and purity of the Gospel being preached would be received and transform the hearts and lives of the people in Concord
7) For the softening of the hearts of the people in Concord in response to the Holy Spirit and the Gospel of Jesus Christ  
8) For all town officials, especially Town Manager Stephen Crane, Chief of Police Joseph F. O'Connor, and the entire Police Department
9) For families, schools, businesses, organizations, and  churches, as they live and work together toward safe and healthy neighborhoods and a thriving town.

Pastor Macadam has also been a long-time friend to the tribe of the “Praying Indians”.  He notes: ‘They are still persecuted for their gospel stand, and are under attack by revisionists who would like to wipe the memory of “Praying Indians” out of the history books. However, I just forwarded original documents of the early Concord settlers recording their interactions with the Massachusett tribe to Concord Academy.’

Please keep our precious Brothers and Sisters of the tribe of “Praying Indians” in your prayers!

January 7th, 2021 Note:
